Adding a door on the shorter side also gives tenants layout options for storage.

Not sure what the layout looks like or location - but in a solid location, which I'm assuming since it's an STR, you should be able to in the ball north of $800-1000 per room and even more so for the rooms with private baths.

It was an up front payment to receive the modeled layout of the home, and they had an individual go to the house to do the mock ups.

When you're responsible for customizing the layout you can get more creative and find extra space a builder missed out on because they wanted to include some type of flex space or amenity room or it just didn't fit their box.

Its size and layout make it ideal for long-term cash flow, and the demand for updated housing in Drexel ensures strong tenant interest once improvements are completed.

I’m not terribly concerned about the house since the layout would make it easy to survey & subdivide to make it two parcels.

In the mean time just hear to learn as much as I can and really layout game plan for my first property.

Any particular layout that you recommend or would stay away from (2 story vs 1)3.

However the layout is not very straightforward (like below).

Meaning that layout would need to sell for at or around 400K to break even.
