PadSplit is suggesting to take away common spaces like the living room and dining room and turn them into bedrooms.

While the paint was drying we yanked up the carpets, minor sweeping, and moved all of my stuff into the living room and dining room..

Look for homes with extra space that is not well utilized or necessary such as a formal dining room, detached garage, or an extra large laundry room (easy bath conversion or kitchen for extra unit), etc.

Unlike selling house where you go in chronological/practical order of the home, guests regularly like to see the highlights or MAIN things first.For example, one of your first 5 pictures is the art work which is already noted in other photos of the dining room.

If you've got a salon, midscale dining, boutique shopping, retail shopping, cafe/coffee shop, and take out restaurant in one shopping center, you will have customers of each business coming for one tenant and staying to visit others.

The rest of the home had been recently remodeled in the past 10 years, kitchen/dining area, bathroom. 

Want an electrical outlet , thats $95 , want chair rail in the dining room , add a grand , ..........it just keeps adding up .

This was the dining room, they cut the floor to get to the nice rough sawn floor joistEntry foyer.

These were clearly visible from the dining room window, the kitchen window, and of course the back yard.
