I bought a place with a detached carriage house in Central Park and my little 700 square foot loft covers the entire mortgage and a couple hundred on top every month. 

If you customize it to be a single-family, you are potentially shooting your investment in the foot.

You have to start off on the right foot.

If they are not standard sizes  ( generally in the foot  sizes ) 36 x 36 .   24x 48. 

That will stop him from setting foot on the property or contacting you again.Third - what was the expected date of completion stated in your contract?

I paid $130K for a 900 square foot house in September 2020 that is worth $170K right now.

I get $1/foot in DFW

Hi Dana,In addition to paint, maybe put a strip of black indoor outdoor carpet just in front of the door (and on the steps if they are not cement).That area is going to take most of the abuse of moving (scraping appliances and furniture) in and out, as well as most of the foot traffic.Cut 3 or 4 more sheets and toss them in the attic for future use.A hand full of staples is much cheaper and faster on turns than a full repaint.Also keep in mind that is a long narrow space and Lighter colors make things appear larger, darker colors--the opposite.Good Luck!

Hi AllI'm looking for the best path to take in regards to getting into rental properties in the Hagerstown, MD area (starting with a house hack).I'm still currently living at home with mom and dad while I'm finishing up my last year in college and working full time making ~50K and am able to save/invest most of it due to my only real expenses being a car payment and insurance.I have about $30k saved up between cash and a brokerage account and a pretty solid credit score of around 740 so I shouldn't have much trouble with loan rates.My main question is - would it be more beneficial to wait it out and buy properties with a conventional loan and 20% down to avoid mortgage insurance or would it be better to use an FHA loan just to get my foot in the door and start my rental property journey.Any and all advice/input is greatly appreciated.

I'm a new Landlord, and just want to put my best foot forward.
