Works best when you have a bigger lot of cabinets then the space or when you can use as previously configured.

@Dan HoehnLast year I tiled my rental tub, same configuration with 6x24 tiles vertically. 

@Jonah Geil  I would suggest talking with the city and determining if they have process to allow the property to operate in its current configuration, i.e. grandfathering. 

New roof (2014) with an additional 2400 square feet of development rights, and a 48 foot deep rear yard, there is plenty of room to enlarge this house and customize it to fit your tastes and needs Current Configuration: 1st Floor and 2nd Floor: Duplex containing 3-4 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen and backyard with brand new fence. 3rd Floor: 1 bedroom, 1 bath, living room, kitchen. 4th Floor: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen.

The four factors are: type, configuration, location and rent range.

I am not sure how to configure one buzzer system to go to 4 people.

Second, I feel like the property would be crossed off of a lot of potential tenants lists having no shower, and in its current configuration, if I just threw a shower in there without replacing the window/tub/surround it would only be a matter of time (probably not much time) before water started getting out and eating the house which I hope to own for a long time. 

I had a question regarding the 3/1 configuration.  

However, for no reason whatsoever the appraisers stated our rents would be 2/3 of this rent for the same BR/BA configuration even though our units would have in-unit laundry while the comp only had hookups.

Some are airtight, where you can not make any modifications and some are very flexible, in that you create your own reports and modify screen configurations.
