They are a summer weight comforter and these are a bit thinner that those.Overall they are a larger size than your typical Walmart/Target comforter so they will hang nice on the bed and work great as a summer weight cover.

With this option, we're wondering if it's better to offer it as a 3 bed 1.5 bath with 2 bonus rooms (which we live out of), or rework one of the rooms into an actual bedroom to make it a 4 bed.With either option, we're also wondering if it's best to have the cashflow of our current house to offset any unexpected expenses, or if we should pay extra and try to pay off our current house as soon as possible.

Eg before the sun comes up (or when she goes to bed), closing all curtains or blinds in the east and south facing windows (and later on the west facing ones) to keep the sun out; opening windows once it has cooled down at night and early in the morning (eg before 8 am)? 

Has anyone had any experience with a Murphy Bed?

If you have a pretty place that's furnished nicely, you can rent to students for more than $1100/bed, which can add up for large, older homes with many bedrooms.

I would also find a way to sleep at least 2 people (if not 4) using convertible sofas and/or murphy beds. 

Examples where this has been done successfully include bed and breakfasts, self storage properties needing 24 hour management presence  with living quarters. 

I question if they had more than the 8 people that there are beds for.  

Yesterday I just got with the sellers of this 4 bed, 2 bath house in Kilgore, Texas (close to Tyler) and I am looking at selling it to a cash investor to make a potential profit.

I have 2 4,500 sq ft indoor pool homes just finished up and because of material selection and sprinkler system the insurance is less than my 3 bed pool home a 1/4 mile away.
