I have 3 beds 1.5 baths in a bungalow style home on a fairly tight dead-end road.

Hello, I am a rookie investor trying to understand how to invest in my first property without losing my shirt.

Usually the difference b/t 500k and 1 mill is pennies really. 

This is all assuming some type of rowhome style of construction, which may not apply to you.Beyond that, I have had success with my single family rentals.  

Lots of these smaller philly row homes are actually being converted from a 3 bed 1.5 bath to a 2 bed 2.5 bath and are getting a lot more success on the rental and sale sideBecause 1100sqft in a rowhome style is super tight and that 3rd bedroom really loses its use to its size. some of these spaces can barley fit a twin bed a dresser.

Seriously though, you're going to be dealing with different generations of people who have different styles and methods of communication.

I think it depends on your learning style and how much time you have to put into this!

@Dan T., The calculation of what is taxable in your situation is relatively simple. 

The more info you can give to your guests and the more transparent you can be about all the different and unique aspects of your property or hosting style will pay you dividends. 14 - Dishwasher!

Additionally, vinyl plank comes in a variety of styles and colors, allowing you to choose a design that fits the aesthetic of your property.As for the walls, if you are looking for a budget-friendly option to replace tile, wall paneling could be a good choice.
