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.

In the event my landlord is interested in selling, I was wondering if I could add value in the short term by, say, converting part of the garage and/or covered porch into a bathroom and maybe a bedroom (currently 3 bed 1 bath).

Some of our borrowers are focusing on 4 bed 2 bath section 8 to push those numbers even higher.I pay close attention to 4-bedroom homes in Memphis for S-8 clients 

It's a good sized house (3000 sf) for the number of bedrooms (4), especially since it doesn't waste space on hallways and things like that. 

And what you've also seen is people that were renting 3 bedroom cabins are now deciding they can get by with the smaller one and two bedroom cabins. 

for example, buy a 2-unit, rent out 1 unit, and then rent all the bedrooms in the other unit to friends and sleep in the basement or on a couch.let's recapnot easy: house hacking in NYCeasy: buying sub 30K houses that will turn into money pits and won't advance your goals at all

I bought a 3 Bedroom SFH in Cahokia Heights, IL on April 2024 and it is STILL NOT RENTED TODAY.I bought for $79k convinced by the Section 8 mentor Tom Cruz to buy from his team and to focus on cashflow vs. appreciationI went through 3 contractors that all did a subpar job and just barely got it all togetherI haven't been able to find an appropriate Property Management team to help on this side of ILI have it listed for rent (Zillow, Turbotenant, Fb, Craigslist) for about 3-4 weeks now since repairs were done.If anyone has any suggestions to get this rented ASAP I would greatly appreciate it and any Property Management connections that can help would be amazing as well.Thank you all for your time and Happy Holidays & Happy New Year Ouch. 

Having a big house with our own bedrooms but a shared living space to gather late at night, that's something a hotel just can't provide.And here in Colorado, there's no such thing as a motel in the thick of the woods.
