She does have her own entrance so she doesn't bother anyone. 

We’re going to live in the larger 3-bed room apt and rent the 1 bedroom apt upstairs that has a separate entrance.

That got me thinking...I have a traditional, center entrance, 2 up, 2 down , all the same 2br floor plan, seen one, seen em all, 1960-ish City of Milwaukee four family.We've always carpeted the living room, hall and bedrooms.

I started putting out my bandit signs in the beginning of November in the major entrances/exits of the neighborhoods in my areas.

There is a significant amount of deferred maintenance on the building, and as such, the rent are $80-$100 below market (though it's difficult to raise them because we have rent control that limit the rent on occupied apartments to inflation - unless the apartment is vacant, in which case I can raise it to whatever I want).The seller's agent has suggested that the building needs about $80K of work to get it in good condition, and here's a list of some significant items:-rear wall (east facing) has had bulging brick veneer removed and is ready for new siding or brick-roof currently has a leak around the chimney - needs to be sealed and drywall repaired in one area (potentially would make more sense to remove chimney and vent boiler out exterior wall)-one vacant unit (2br) now could use sprucing up in bathroom and paint/flooring throughout -one unit coming up for oct 1 (1br) could use upgrade in kitchen and bath and paint/flooring throughout -common areas could use some sprucing up - paint, maybe lighting, entrance door, perhaps flooring to improve 1st impression I've owned property before, but I am no handyman, so I'd need a general contractor to walk with me through the building condition.

You could consider this future situation as a roommate situation as well and create a private entrance for yourself to the basement if one doesn't already exist.I know with the more expensive areas, it can be more lucrative to advertise rooms on sites like airbnb as a vacation rental but I'm not sure if it would be worth the hassle.Here is a neat one

Hi BP, I found some MFHs with only one entrance for all units.

When you walk in the main entrance hall it is real hardwoods the thin plank style from early 2000's and then to the right one of the 11 X 12 rooms is hardwood also.

It is a great location surrounded by three large apartment complexes with no nearby food aside from a gas station next door, the value in this is there is already an entrance, there is also a large 6.8 acre PUD parcel zoned for apartment or assisted living right across the street.

The Home has the following:First Floor and Finished Basement:(Owners Area)First Floor: 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, Office, Kitchen, Living Room, Dining Room, Enclosed Porch Finished Basement: Full Bathroom, Laundry Area, Living/Recreational Area, Tons of Closets/Storage, Mechanicals RoomBasement In-Law: (Tenant)Separate Entrance, 2nd Shared door with Owners finished basement, Kitchen, Bathroom, Living Area/Bedroom, Closet SpaceSecond Floor: (Tenant)Shared Side Entrance with 1st floor owner, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, Eat-in Kitchen, Living RoomMy issue is this:Currently the owner rents out the 2nd Floor and also rents the In-Law suite to a "relative".
