I was thinking some sort of a ledge or shelf across the width of the sink? 

Not because I dont think you can be successful, but because your ability to borrow money becomes infinitely harder once you leave that W2 job.

So quickly- before any product makes it to the shelf in the store, their is a process it follows.

A 3/2 is infinitely easier to sell.

An infinite ROI!

Can I cover the note & all expenses infinitely with 50% vacancy?

I checked with the town code enforcement officer ahead of time to be certain, and he did say a new shelf plan would be required when I do the conversion from the 1 to 3 bedrooms, which is fine by me.

Flippers and rehabbers get a stable source of funding that can scale (in theory) infinitely as they grow, and investors get a chance to earn stable, decently high returns - with limited downside in the case of well-collateralized land or development projects.Just my observations of the industry so far.

The answer to your question is--there are infinite number of possibilities.

On the shelf, I noticed "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", read the outline and it struck a chord with me, so I bought it.
