Sounds like you won't really get any say in layout and finishes unless you make changes with the contractor you choose? 

I have also been using Intuit Payment Network.  

As it is, without changing the layout of the L-shaped property, you could potentially get $2000/month for 48+15k?

I was driving my new neighborhood with a friend who's an agent, helping me to get a layout of the area, and searching for a potential new home. 

Too bad i bought in dec 2015 while it was still at its high, but my wife likes the house layout and i like it too. 

The layout lends itself to dividing the space in one or both to 2 bed 1 bath units and still be decent sized.

I purchased a legally zoned 2 family building, the layout is allowing me to make a 3rd unit, a studio apartment, in an empty room that has a front door and 2 windows.  

But if the layout can at least make it so, for the most part, say two bedrooms will be close to or attached to one bathroom so it's clear that the students staying in those two rooms are to use this bathroom, that will make it more likely that the students in those bedrooms will take "ownership" of it and keep it relatively clean and not destroyed.I should also note that a smaller common area will make it less likely that your house will be where all the parties are at.

They work well, with some caveats.  1) If you don't do the computer layout at the store, there WILL be a problem.  

The house is 1650 sq ft 3 Bedrooms 2 1/2 Bathrooms with a nice layout but needs some updates to the kitchen, and flooring throughout.
