I always tell someone who shows up wanting to be told they can do it that they are making themselves a mark.

“If you make your space memorable, guests will forgive the small stuff,” he said.But it’s not just about creating a remarkable space.

Most people who buy 2+1 and think they can use the third and get busted on that, end up renting the bonus unit to the top or bottom unit as extra space, but that is a loss on what would be unit rent by more than half.

Quote from @Karina Busch: Now that I know that Quartz/Granite is more affordable I will check into it for our next reno coming up, but laminate has been really durable for us in our last 2 personal homes as well.Also, you can set hot stuff on granite (at least briefly) whereas with a basic laminate you will leave marks...

To succeed in Cleveland's short-term rental market, research local regulations, analyze potential locations, find ideal properties, build a network, plan renovations, stay connected with BiggerPockets, focus on modern bathrooms, cozy outdoor spaces, and practical amenities.Good luck!

(optional)Kitchen Remodel (2020): Updated countertops, cabinets, and installed new stainless steel appliances.Bathroom Renovation (2019): Added new tiles, modern fixtures, and a glass shower enclosure in the master bathroom.Finished Basement (2018): Added 600 sq. ft. of finished space, including a family room and home office.New Roof (2021): Replaced the entire roof with new shingles and added improved insulation.Landscaping (2022): Redesigned front and backyard with new plants, sod, and an outdoor seating area.Energy-Efficient Windows (2020): Installed energy-saving windows throughout the home.

By the time you raise it bit by bit, the new "market" rent will probably have surpassed the $1300 mark lol. 

Multi-family units (duplexes, triplexes) allow you to maximize rental income while maintaining some personal space.

Which group are you rating here, Wrein or Open Spaces?  

I started out losing money because of employee salary and office space, but we quickly grew enough units that it paid for itself and then became profitable within a year.If you want to pursue this, I recommend finding an existing PM company that wants to sell.
