If it drags on and goes all the way to judgement and sheriff removal  figure on 2 or 3 grand.

I got push back from the buyers agent asking me if I was going to tank this deal for a bit over 10 grand , I told him , no , but you are .   

Hi community,I'm planning to house hack in Richmond or Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania and am considering renting by the room using short-term, mid-term, or long-term strategies.

If you are expecting this person to go out and source the items and then place them in the unit that involves a lot of work, designer time, and designer energy.One way to get yourself on boarded with a designer would be to make some phone calls and see if they have openings for new clients as far as spending the time needed, because in our business time is money vs a family having their living room dining room and entry hall redecorated, where time is not probably of the essence.

The house is a high ranch single-family home with three bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, and dining room on the first floor, and a finished basement that has a full bathroom, bedroom, and common area.

It's hard to answer without knowing this.Hi Tim Yes I am buying it as primary residence, and plan to share room on first year, and rent out entire house on the second year !

The thermostat control is on the living room which will be part of the JADU.

This room has the washer, dryer, and water heater. 

My units all need TLC but rents are $1,100 (2/1), $1,200 (1/1), & $1,500 (2/1) with room to grow since I inherited and kept the old tenants.

I agree with the $3500 so if it's your goal to maximize this one property then i'd really think about what that will take. my guess is more rooms vs less.
