Somehow, Southern California, at least those areas right by the coast, also escape the discomfort of a large amount of insects.

But I could easily make this a 3 bed, 2 bath within the existing sq ft. 

@David Rodriguez  The only thing I would add is a two bed might do better as a two bed rather than 1 plus office.

Purchase price: $118,000 Cash invested: $118,000 Tried to buy a place during the pandemic in NY but was getting outbid like crazy over 100k, so I was lucky enough to buy a condo in tulum mexico and do a short term rental. 1 bed, 1 bath, with community pol, 15 minutes away from the beach and 15 minutes away from the city.

Custom lighting we like to install reading lights in primary on the bed wall people dig those wire for it and let them pick the lights..

You'll be in the middle of the overall upper east side apartment market. 1 or 2 beds 1 or 2 baths in a nice and safe building.

Quote from @Kegan Scholl: -22 years old-$50,000 pre tax income from business this year-80k in savings-30k in investments-pre approved for $350,000 (had to use parents as co-signers because I started business 2 years ago and didn’t make much first year)Looking to get into first house by house hacking a 4 bed 2 bath renting out 3 rooms.

Other items, such as football equipment from the kids’ league, were destroyed in the flooding, he said.More leaks have come from the plumbing between his first and second floors, prompting him to leave his light fixtures hanging unmounted from their wires so they don’t fill with water, he said.Clusters of dead insects cling to one section of his ceiling.

In the event my landlord is interested in selling, I was wondering if I could add value in the short term by, say, converting part of the garage and/or covered porch into a bathroom and maybe a bedroom (currently 3 bed 1 bath).

Get good beds, pillows, sheets and don't simp.
