Any advice is greatly appreciated, below are a few of the questions I am kicking around curious if anyone with experience can weight in:1.

At some point, the rental income will go beyond our expenses and I can absolutely see that light at the end of the tunnel.

The studio has large windows on both sides of the unit so i do not want to loose any of that natural light, and I am thinking of eitherA - Doing a full glass partition wall with glass door, with smart glass that can frost to create privacy when in use and allow sunlight when not in use to both sides of the apartmentorB - Doing a higher end full wall foldable partition on a track that closes the whole new "room" into a bedroom but can close back up and fold away to make it a studio again if not in use.Thanks for your input

I was currently thinking about a light gray walls with white trim and ceilings.

Correct me if I am wrong but Joe Schmoe with no experience and no education can call himself a financial advisor.There is no governing body that administers the term 'financial planner' so I put litte weight into that title / profession, whether it is fee based / non-fee based. 

Well light properties are less likely to be approached by burglars. 7. 

This can be quite expensive. 3) Make sure you buy furniture with a high weight capacity. 4) This arrangement doesn't attract the best tenants.

I'm a licensed agent in both markets, licensed general contractor in columbus and soon to be miami, I travel to capital markets and the highest interest is in ground up construction and purchasing of entitled sites. 1 million is light for downtown but you can get 8-12 story sites for that that you can put high density on. phenomenal opportunities. best market in the country. you can sweat equity by doing the zoning meetings, helping on design, etc.

Total rents increased by ~14% (weighted average).

There was always a leaky faucet, clogged toilet, broken light fixture, lost keys, overgrown grass, trash in the yard, etc.
