I then took that money, paid off most of my debt, and then started looking for a place where the owner would carry the note and I could afford the down payment.The only thing I could find that met those requirements was a 100-year-old house that had been converted some decades ago into three, one-bedroom apartments.

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.

Listen to the people who tell you to have ample liquidity.

It is regional, but I find some of the newer homes where I am have more open living areas, but the bedrooms are smaller as are some of the lot sizes.To get a new mortgage, your rates are likely going to go up, but if the new home was well built, you shouldn't have to worry about things like new windows or a new roof for a while.

The house sold as a three bedroom at I believe was $18,000 dollars more than it was originally listed for.

My BR cabin is a 4 bed, which I would recommend if possible. 4 bedrooms seem to do quite well as they tend to be more spacious and can accommodate more people (so nightly rates go up quite a bit).

They said if I left in the window I couldn't call it a bedroom!

This single-family home sits on a 1.5-acre property and is 6,400 sf, six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a pool, a hot tub, and an expansive balcony.

Initially, I planned to finish the attic, add a bathroom and bedroom, and create a first-floor master suite, turning it into a 3/2.

It a 2 bedroom townhouse with 2 queen size beds.
