If this is your primary residence and you have an extra bedroom (or can make an extra bedroom), AirBnb can be very lucrative. 

Purchase price: $8,000 Cash invested: $20,000 In 2013, I decided to put much of what I had learned from books into action by purchasing a two-bedroom home—not as a traditional investment property, but as a home for my mother.

Total of 5 bedrooms and 3 units.

I wanted to share the numbers and want to make sense if it's a good deal for us according to what we are looking for.Price: $450k (agent said that we can get it down to $420k)2 Units (1 bedroom in each unit)Mortgage with 3 year fixed comes up to around $2.3kInsurance and tax is roughly $400Rent per unit is $1.4k so if we move out then total rent comes up to $2.8kThere's a detached ADU (garage) that can give us another $100-$150 if we rent it for storage and there's a scope of converting it into another unit later on.So currently rough calculation says that it can cashflow up to $300 per month.

Computers can analyze property based on subjective data (square footage, # of beds/baths, etc.) but cannot calculate for objective data (quality of kitchen cabinets/counters, size of bedrooms and bathrooms, view out the living room window, etc.).You should study the market yourself.

While the traditional approach involves buying a multi family property, living in one unit and renting out the other - with rising prices and interest rates; others have considered renting out bedrooms as unit spaces. 

My cabins (1 to 5 bedrooms, all with views, and all except the 1 bedroom is further from town) are still performing well and most are on track to meet or exceed 2023 returns.The days of buying and everything running easy with people filling your dates and throwing cash at you are over.

I'm relocating to the Upper East Side this June for a three-year period and am considering purchasing a 1-2 bedroom apartment with a budget of $1-2M.
