So she took that extra space, added a wall and a hidden door and poof!

Well, STR can work well for people who own a vacation house for personal use, and just want to generate some extra income when not in use.  

Thank you for sharing your experience here; it’s a good reminder to be extra careful when dealing with properties like this.This post has definitely made me realize how important it is to double-check zoning and property classifications before closing on a deal.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

I thought I was overcharged for my rehabs, especially because I didn’t have a solid process for oversight in place initially.I ended up having my property manager oversee the rehab projects, which helped but came at an extra cost—around 10% of the total rehab budget.

I got an extra $30K in value out of it.Appraisers don't use the PPSF because it is grossly inaccurate, despite common belief.

If possible, consider a duplex or single-family home with extra rooms instead, as they offer better appreciation and flexibility.

Took an extra 6 weeks than planned,  but ultimately got it done. 

Also, how much time do you want to spend doing real estate vs. your main job or extra work in order to fund it.

Since house flipping has become so popular over the past few years, it's never been more critical to give your projects that extra *POP* that homebuyers will notice as they're swiping through Zillow.
