That kitchen looks good but needs more stuff so families can cook and eat there.I think you guy look good in the photos, but it can be a turn off to prospective guests so I would remove those.

@Surya S KumaresanYou're in a great position to grow your real estate portfolio in Atlanta, a market with strong appreciation and rental demand.

However, you should explore REMAX, KW and ERA, which are really strong here.2- Depends on the location.

Since you’re considering converting the upper unit into a short-term rental, you may also want to implement strict rules around smoking or strong odors in your house rules to avoid future issues.

This is a good opportunity in a strong market, and with your excellent credit and HELOC funds, you’re in a great position to make this project happen.

I have a list of them that I can share with you.Chicago, without a doubt, has some downsides, but there are also a lot of positives, like the inventory of older multi-family properties and price points at all levels.Investing out-state can be challenging because of the distance and the need for boots on the ground that you can trust 100%.

I'm not saying "wow, what a deal" or to copy this I'm just saying when compared to SFH or continuing to rent, the 2-4 unit househack is very appealing and thus demand is strong.

It is better to have a couple in good areas (not fancy, just good family areas) than a bunch in areas that are rougher. 

Landlords who adapted quickly by recalculating rent strategies and communicating openly with tenants maintained strong relationships and minimized financial disruptions.5.

I would strongly advice consulting with an attorney or financial planner to discuss your options.
