Personally I would defer this question to someone with design experience, not sure I have seen too many on here commenting.You could do something neutral but remember especially with the rug if it is light color it will likely run quickly.

Interestingly, though, people who have experience with STRs seem more likely to pivot to the MTR strategy once they realize how much easier it is and how well the renters treat their units.

california has had statewide rent control on mf units for ~5 years.My experience with rent control is that in the near term rents increase more than without rent control.

I am no professional here, just explaining from my experience.. first, insurance starts claim and they send adjuster out to assess, check damages, and collect documentation.

Our experience has been that the tenant, 99% of the time, does not request a hearing.

I’d prefer less outsourcing on behalf of the banks and fewer web portals/ apps/ servicing companies because in my experience the more entities involved the more glitches, so adding a VA and another layer of software to the mix doesn’t sound inviting.

It is very much case-by-case and requires understanding of the current tax regime for personal itemized deductions, as well as gambling on the proposed changes to this regime by the next administration.

@Charles EvansFrom my experience, having rental income of $1,400 to offset a $2,600 mortgage, leaving you with a $1,200 payment, is a manageable setup with an income-to-mortgage ratio of 28.5%.

Sounds beautiful.Hi Noah, I’d love to hear more about your experiences with STR and MTRs in Sacramento.

In my general experience bigger is always better in STR's - do it when and if possible.
