Tons of room to negotiate even on market deals.Very few wholesalers, although I made videos about how to do it.

It's rare to find a market where everything is positive, so how do you prioritize those you aren't willing to compromise and those you have wiggle room on?

The one big caution I would have for investors on the design is don’t make the room size too small.

I would do a game room over a movie theatre.

Aim for a mortgage amount that clears the remaining HELOC balance ($68K) and leaves room for any additional costs.                                                                                         

There are more complicated strategies to maximize larger listings that involve having like multiple listings for same property and do individual room rentals when it is slower and then for larger length stays, larger groups, and more desirable dates you'd book the whole space, but I think its easier to just do two separate. 

But…There’s ZERO chance I would rent by the room for $600/months more.

i do not however use it for heat mine is an AC only unit I believe not a heat pump unit.If you're whole unit is relying on one mini split for ac and heat that surprises me just given if you shut a bedroom door you'd not have heat from the split that I assume is in the living room. 

This is how much you need to increase your room rate to become profitable based on last year's information.

All the guest rooms have separate exterior entrances so we put keycode locks on those and guests get the code via text a day or two before they arrive.
