I'm in the Northwest Indiana market and things are tight around here.

In small spaces I have occasionally put stackable ones.

I think I will need a car and an office space in the first few months itself.

I am pretty active in the STR space in northen Utah.

I’d love to hear from others who have navigated similar challenges or have insights on improving profitability in the short-term rental space.

Think of it as the rough sketch that helps you figure out where you want to swim: Omaha’s stable single-family rentals with decent cash flow and strong appreciation potential, the sizzling up-and-coming pockets around San Antonio where off-market deals still lurk if you’re willing to roll up your sleeves, or those tight-knit Chicago neighborhoods where a trusted investor-friendly agent can point you to contractors who won’t ghost you mid-reno.

Then later as you grow older and no longer want to share your space you can just stop renting the other bedroom.

Sometimes the tenants are coming from shelters or other communal type of housing where maintaining a space my not be solely there responsibility so maintaining the unit may not be to your liking. 

Then go for a rug that mixes those colors together well (you also really need a coffee table to fill the space and something vertical like a floor lamp to help balance out the different window sizes.)

If you're in this space, please give a shout!
