Hi all,I have a 2 bed/1bath, 900 sq ft home that needs a kitchen renovation.

Several economic factors are contributing to this shift:Overbuilding: Some areas of Charlotte have seen significant overdevelopment, leading to an oversupply of rental units.Tighter Money: Rising interest rates and economic uncertainty have made tenants more cautious with their spending.Tenant Behavior: Many responsible renters are choosing to stay put rather than take on the cost and hassle of moving.What Does This Mean for Landlords?

Whichever strategy you choose, ensure you're adhering to IRS rules about prohibited transactions and working with experienced professionals to structure deals properly.Regarding non-recourse hard money lenders in San Antonio, I don’t have specific recommendations.

The property itself should bring in revenue ( even if you choose not to live in one side) and generally a bank will accept a portion of that rental income into the calculation. 

You can't decide which one to choose based on the minimal information you provided.

In all major cities, especially ones with a higher crime index, unless you study the market and know it, I would never rely on someone else to choose a block.

The house was a 3 bed one bath.

Then you can choose to get a roommate to make extra money.  

Both units are spacious 2 bed - 1 bath units.

If it is then it is a valid comparison.If it is a 2 bed 2 bath condo, then make sure you look at those comps and not the hotel.
