I invested approximately $4,000 in furnishing these two rental rooms with linens, mattresses, bed frames, dressers, and nightstands.

Purchase price: $220,000 Cash invested: $8,000Located in downtown Woodstock IL, this 2700 sqft 2-story historic home features craftsman woodwork, built-ins, and hardwood floors, with modern finishes. 5 bed 3 bath property with a huge yard, fire pit, and full unfinished basement partitioned and accessible to both side-by-side units.

When we bought the SFH with intentions to build a second dwelling unit in the backyard (1 bed/1 bath approx. 500 sq ft).

The best comps are: - sales in the last 6 months (last 3 months is optimal)- within 5 miles- same bed/bath count- similar square footage-similar condition (new build, recent rehab, average, good, etc)This is what your lender/appraiser will mainly look at when determining the property's value.

You could purchase a property with 9 beds that is fully themed out that is grossing $150/year or so.

@Mounish ThatikondaThree beds and one bath is less desirable than having 2 bathrooms or even a half bath. 3/1 can make some of the best purchases because they are functionally obsolete and may get passed up by many buyers allowing you to get a better price.

Taking away the garage from the existing tenants will lower the rents on those units.Currently they are:4 bed 2 bath rent = $2,000 3 bed 1.5 bath rent = $1,600I think the 4 bed 2 bath is the one with the partial conversion, and three units might look like:3 bed 1.5 bath = Rent $1,500 (no garage)1 bed 1 bath = Rent $1,1003 bed 1.5 bath with garage = $1,600Don’t be misled by the 6.6 cap rate in the listing, they are just using gross rents which is incorrect. 30% (25% expenses and 5% vacancy is standard in our market), and this is really a 4.7% cap rate.

our general rule is baths for beds so we dont buy anything str with less baths than bedrooms?

New 2 bed 2 bath 1 car -duplex -$1550 hard but possible. the builder that i purchased from has another similar one coming up  

What rents go for a 3 bed 1 bath?
