It's unique and you could make this feature an amazing centerpiece and hero photo.Since you’re installing a mini-split, heat isn’t the issue—it’s all about guest experience and aesthetics.

@Robert Brock, I guess my advice is not really any different than I would say to someone wanting to be a residential wholesaler: you need to add value to the transaction.Often times, having the deal tied up is the value, but more often then not, in my limited experience with commercial wholesalers and residential, the wholesaler has no idea what someone will actually pay, so they tie up a deal at too high a price and then add their fee that turns a bad investment into a horrible investment. 

I don't have a lot of experience, but I do have the ability to exchange my time, so that could be a form a currency that benefits them. 

I know this is probably quite rare, but if anyone has any experience in this, any advice will be appreciated.Thanks,Gene

I’m giving serious consideration to converting into a PadSplit.However, I have heard that Fort Worth (the city, Tarrant County, the faceless boogey man…) has issues with PadSplit whereas Dallas County is supportive.I would love to hear about your experiences between the two markets and if Fort Worth can be viable for PadSplit and anything I should be mindful of?

I am starting to realize there has been a significant amount of consolidation in the space by private equity and other institutional investors. 3) From research it also seems like getting financing can be difficult without prior experience in the space.

I am an seasoned real estate agent and affordable housing compliance manager in NYC with some experience in the Hudson Valley Area.

That real-world experience, built on trust and actual deals, was infinitely more valuable than any high-ticket coaching package.

I find it's very personal, and dependent a lot on your goals, resources, risk tolerance, location, experience, etc.

I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few years until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.
