Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Devin James: In 2021, we saw buyers upgrading to larger homes, taking advantage of 3% interest rates to afford an extra 300+ square feet.Today, smaller homes are selling much faster as higher rates make additional square footage less affordable.While rates are historically average, I don’t see them dropping significantly.

You can do some inexpensive value ad items.

At some point that market becomes saturated, pushing revenues down and the extra juice won't be worth the squeeze. 

I'm also working on a Google Data Analyst certification to bring in some extra income while I'm home with our 19-month-old daughter.I'm still pretty new to this, though, and I'm not sure where to start or if I'm on the right track.

Interested in getting some extra income with converting the extra space in the basement into a rentable unit.Basements in a one-family home can be lawfully rented only if the following conditions are met:Compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code for minimum room size.There is a minimum ceiling height of 7 ft.The walls, as high as ground level, must be damp- and water-proofed if HPD determines that subsoil conditions on the lot require it.The basement is occupied by one family and does not include boarders.Every room must have at least one window.The bottom of any yard or other required open space cannot be higher than six inches below the window sill of any required window in the room.

Also 4th quarter of last year Packwood and county officially did discuss potentially regulating STR's by either limiting numbers or adding a tax to cover increases in local services that are needed. 

I have added Board Games to my Airbnb. 

It tends to hide marks better.Walls: Neutral tones like SW Repose Gray, Behr Swiss Coffee, or Moore Classic Gray are renter-friendly and modern.Trim and Doors: Use a crisp white like SW Extra White or Moore Chantilly Lace.Accent Walls: For a touch of style, consider an accent wall in soft blue-gray. 

Went through extra fast because the developer really had no other good optionsI doubt we'll know the full details for years to come but I'm curious if you have an opinion, or if there's other probable options C,D,E I could be missing as just a public bystander to the situation @Rene Hosman It's very rare that anything gets done quietly behind the scenes.

I just added those 2 podcasts to my list on Spotify, thanks for the rec.
