Still up to me to properly utilize it and get the deals contracted.

However, I’d like to have a space of my own before living with others again (I plan to house hack again with my next property).I’m seeking advice on how to move forward, as I need to consider things like utilities, taxes, landlord/umbrella insurance, and managing the property, especially with someone renting my garage.Specifically, I’m curious about renting out individual rooms and living on my own for a little while.

I own a property management company in WA, including Yakima.Here’s a rough breakdown of costs:- Management: 15-30% of revenue- Cleaning: $100-$200 per turnover- Utilities: $150-$300/month- Maintenance: 5-10% of revenue- Insurance: $1,500-$3,000/yearTools like AirDNA or Mashvisor can give you a solid idea of income and occupancy.

Sounds like you need to have a relationship with a couple of good contractors, 40k for vinyl siding sounds high, what was the material cost.  

. $1300/month, tenant pays all utilities. 4 bedroom one is vacant.

And does the person doing the labor get paid or only the materials paid for by the partnership?

While the cost can vary depending on the scope, zoning, and materials, I’ve seen similar projects run anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000, depending on factors like plumbing, electrical upgrades, and structural work.If you’d like, I can connect you with a few contractors or architects in Chicago who specialize in basement conversions.

Whether it's optimizing listings on OTAs, leveraging social media, running targeted ads, or using dynamic pricing tools—I'd love to hear what’s working for you.Some strategies I’ve been exploring include: Enhancing property listings with professional experience photography and compelling descriptions, leveraging Instagram and Facebook ads to attract more direct bookings, and utilizing email marketing to engage past guests.What’s been a game-changer for your vacation rental business?
