If you're going to owner occupy and and want to benefit from some rental income then I'd go for it, but if you're looking for some combination of appreciation and cash flow there are better places to put your cash.

You will want to provide basic amenities like included washer/dryer since living conditions are already less than ideal with that many roommates so you don't want the added hassle of them needing to go downtown to a laundromat. 3.

The labor forces used are rarely licensed and insured, are the bottom of the bottom and paired with the cheapest materials... a losing combination. 

Any advise on adding washer/dryers is a plus I know routing new drains can be tricky when trying not to get to invasive on a "cosmetic" job.

My motivation for a washer and dryer is based on the ease for cleaners to be able to turn the house as easy as possible and I did not even consider what guests would want. 

The list is a combination of private and public data. 

Over a 25 year time frame the combination of the location and the house will grow faster than other properties, due to location/location. 

I know I made a lot of mistakes here, and if I could go back would certainly do things differently.Key facts:• no written partnership agreement • In business for 1 year, with 8 total combined clients• 2024 total income $29,500• No shared business property or initial investment.

So there might be ways for you to find more money to combine with your 80k to pay cash for a decent cash flowing SFR.
