I’m have my first house built in Portsmouth VA and will be renting out two of rooms in a 3 bed  3.5 bath townhome. 

I’ll start by saying I’ve heard doing this is a death sentence for resale but has anyone built a 1 bed 1 bath home and had any luck selling it?

However, a few of her comps she shared included: - Properties crossing major streets- One property pending (NOT SOLD)- One property sold, but over 350 sq ft apart in size from the subject propertyNow I'm not going to say I get it right every time.

The ceilings in the basement are a hair over 7' (full size door fits), and trying to understand whether to duplex down my first floor unit and go from 3/1 to 4/2 bed/bath legally. 

The numbers for this property look promising on paper.Although I am not particularly fond of the street view, this new property is located in the 38128 zip code, near Raleigh Cemetery.

Neighborhood quality can vary street to street in some areas and there can also be stark differences in tax rates and city ordinances in some suburbs.   

I tried to use nerd wallet but their estimate is vague and you cannot put in purchase price/bed/bath information.

We purchased 11 lots across the street from our homestead Approx 20 years ago in order to prevent building and overcrowding.

Check with each utility to confirm you can have the additional accounts in a tenant's name.In our North East Pennsylvania location, the water companies will allow a separate meter, HOWEVER, they require a separate water main from the street hookup to the additional house meter so they may control each meter on the property independently of the other(s) without entering the dwelling.

Here's an example of what I'm attempting to articulate: Betty owes $500,000 on her home at '123 Banana Street'.
