I was living in Kennedy Town for two months last December.

I am seeing a crackdown on STRs not so much as a result of any hotel lobby, but as a result of regular citizens complaining to their elected officials that they don't like living next to a hotel.Can't really blame them.

Burlap on the wall, postage stamp rug for a large living room, hodgepodge of items around the house with no real theme.

Hi Devin, Have you ever considered that instead of America needing smaller homes that are more affordable, that America needs more higher paying jobs so that people can live the actual American dream versus having to settle for less and less and less (Has George Carlin pointed out in his classic speech about this). 

You live in a $1,000,000 house and are able to secure a HELOC for $150,000. 

You'll need at least 125-150 doors to make a decent living, but you won't be able to afford much help. 

Hey River,Right now I live in "Central",so Im open to all areas outside of places like camden,newark unless in the good section ect.

. - The ultimate house hack, live in the small ADU unit and rent out the two levels of the main house on AirBnb in San Francisco (I would have thought STRs are oversaturated in S.F. but it worked for them and they stay fully booked).

That's where I live.

@Hamidou Keita House hacking by converting a single-family to a duplex is a smart strategy, but requires careful planning.Pros: Offset living expenses, higher rental income, increased equity.Cons: Significant conversion costs (permits, construction), zoning restrictions, living in a construction zone, managing two tenants.Key Considerations:Feasibility: Check local zoning and permitting.Costs: Get detailed construction estimates.Market Analysis: Ensure post-conversion rent covers expenses and there's rental demand.Resources: BiggerPockets forums, local contractors, real estate agents.Have you researched your target property's conversion potential?
