And I'm currently building in the area) Do a market analysis to see what has the highest rent vs cost to build. 2 bed units?

I don't have to get out of bed if I don't want to.

October 2023 our builder gave us a ridiculous construction estimate so we pulled the plug (basically all the trade work was as expensive for a 1 bedroom as our 4 bed we built in 2021). 

The property is a double lot and 3 bed 3 bath, but my thinking is it is rare to have the chance to own 3 lots in a Downtown area that is quickly being converted into townhome and higher density living.

I’m have my first house built in Portsmouth VA and will be renting out two of rooms in a 3 bed  3.5 bath townhome. 

The rates go up dramatically with a 3 bed and the cost of construction impact is much smaller than building two cabins.  

I’ll start by saying I’ve heard doing this is a death sentence for resale but has anyone built a 1 bed 1 bath home and had any luck selling it?

The other individual wants to continue leasing the space but wants to change business to a combo craft store and tanning bed salon and is requesting I add a 220 v outlet for a single tanning bed.

The ceilings in the basement are a hair over 7' (full size door fits), and trying to understand whether to duplex down my first floor unit and go from 3/1 to 4/2 bed/bath legally. 

How much concern should I have about the bed bug and dog situation?
