Your host's (Abby's) half-naked profile pic is very off-putting.

Most towel bars are 24 inches, but as we both know, most studs are 16 inches on center.

I have done this and then we lost half of our W2 income, then a big HVAC repair, then the ELOC rate drifted up from 4% to 10%, then a storm forced a roof repair sooner than expected.

Nearly half of our reservations come with pets and to not allow them would put you at a severe disadvantage in a competitive market.

What I have learned is that you can borrow $50K or half your loan balance whichever is the small amount. 

I know it can feel a bit daunting at first, but you’re asking the right questions, and that’s half the battle won.

Each potential buyer has come to their own conclusion that it would be too much hassle and risk to manage in this fashion vs a traditional rental even though the average cap rate in our area has been half that at best.

We comfortably could use the cash flow but could probably survive if reduced by half but only as long as have our tenant at the primary residence.

If it's in a high tax /flood area taxes and insurance could easily be 5-6k or half that then with title insurance points and closing it could make senseWhat is the breakdown ?

You can, but I can think of half a dozen times in past 4-6 quarters it would have gotten into margin call.
