I have a space in my home where I do all of my desk office-type work, but it is not dedicated to real estate.

I also use the CRMs built in email to send out 8-10k emails spaced out through a couple of days.

I'm looking to get started in the sober living space.

If you can find a place where the HOA or COA is flexible and you are able to convince the membership to go into development and perhaps convert the property into a co-op you could build a new apartment complex with commercial rental spaces on the ground floor and residential spaces on the top. 

I plan on converting the barn into another sleeping space and indoor/outdoor rec room.

I am new to the real estate investing space. 

Beyond that, networking with other investors in the mobile home park space could open up some doors for partnerships or additional funding ideas.

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

It can still be profitable, but I would suggest getting your cash flow going and then venture into that space after some time. 

McKinney is thriving, but so are other parts of North Texas, and a broader perspective could reveal other great opportunities.Here’s what I’ve observed managing a significant number of rentals in the area:Bedrooms and Layouts:3-bed, 2-bath homes consistently attract the largest pool of tenants and have the highest occupancy rates.4-bedroom homes have grown in demand, especially with the rise of remote work, as tenants look for extra space to use as a home office.Square footage is less critical than number of beds and baths.Supply and Demand:McKinney’s growth is driving demand, but the quality of the location matters greatly.
