We have purchased a larger home and made two full dwelling spaces; a kitchen on the main with 4 bedrooms and a kitchen in the basement with 2 full bedrooms. 

In Franklinton there are plenty of large projects going on that will bring massive growth to the west side of Columbus, such as the Peninsula Development, which is a multiphase project that will erect a 24 story apartment complex featuring a grocery store, a multi use office space building, and a new hotel featuring a two-story Pins Mechanical venue.

Finding a property with a garage or convertible income-producing space sub-$300K will be your biggest challenge. 

I can't access a lot of the space because it's so packed.What if she gets mice?

Most good leases have language at the end and a space to sign over the lease to a new owner.

You have to ask yourself the question: are you designing this space for yourself or for your Guests/highest revenue potential?

Pets, space, family, amenities and just general preference to less private hotels.

.- Spacing between thoughts also makes it easier to read than one big paragraph of TLDR.

BRRRFlipping can be fantastic, especially for someone like you who loves design and transforming spaces.

Set shared space expectations before the tenant moves in and have those expectations in writing.
