Making A Space To Work Start by setting aside a space in your home for working, for doing deals, and conducting your business.

The duplex scenario is better than the SFH in that you have your own space.

We decided to knock down a wall in the kitchen and use some of the garage space added kitchen and eating area, plus close off the 3rd bedroom from the kitchen. 

They really don't need it for storage because there is plenty of storage space.

It had the garage on the main level with the living space above it.

My clients are sophisticated investors and developers, each owning on average about 5-10 million sq/ft of commercial space, and about 2,000-3,000 units. 

This coffee shop asked us if we had any residential space available for rent.

You've found a great resource for connecting with other people in the real estate space and learning more about investing. 

If I knock it down I will have a huge living room and a very open concept but loose som very practical space when the living room is a good size anyway.

It is in pretty bad disrepair, with the biggest and most obvious issue being the mold that is in every room of the entire lower level of the home (it's a 5BR, 2BA (~2000 sq ft) split level - lower level has one bath, living area, 2BR, storage space and utility room).
