Wall removal is better for sale usually for open concept, and sometimes for rentals, but if you want more occupancy (potential rent by room) removing walls restricts that.

I am hoping to find a single family home that I can "BRSTRHHRR" (buy, reno, Short term rent|House Hack, refinance, repeat) by creating a separate living space in a single family home that can be STRed (this is due to local restrictions in my town that prevent STR in multifamily properties). 

A lot of end buyers have realtors on a drip campaign for off market deals as well. 

.- there is a reason investing in syndication have the restrictions that they do.  

My average fill up is 50 kilowatts so that  $2.00  Two bucks for 200 miles of range with no restriction on speed or fast starts at the line :)  Not every state is the same at our place in Vegas you pay one rate no matter what time of day and that is I think about 12 Cents a kilowat so about 7 bucks to fill up for 200 miles of range. lets say 20 MPG at 3 bucks  thats 30bucks for gas for same range.

If any place has HOA/POA I would be very careful with those restrictions and talk to plenty of people including every board member before buying about their views on STR. 

Be ready to send a campaign of 4-6 postcards (etc) per potential lead before you get a response. 

Everything that our newly elected president talked about during his campaign trail leads to higher prices. 

There are some restrictions so I would encourage you to look into it to see if eligibility applies.

After building a 1000 + property driving for dollars list, and about 65% on the DNC list, I am looking at reaching the ones I can't call with an SMS campaign.
