Go rent it from the library and read it (or get the audio book) one weekend to see which dad you identify with.

There is a garage with kitchen and appliances aka 'guest house' potential rental as a studio , currently is not rented but potentially could be for 450-500 with some tiling and flooring fix.The electrical of the garage is tied to one of the unit.Need advise in following:- How would you approach the possibility of renting the garage: owner pays bill for both and rise the monthly rent?

The property is actually 4 beds 2.5 baths in the main unit, a basement with a 1 BD/1BA (no walk-out) and studio w/1BA above garage.Strategy Analysis:Plan A - Subdivision: Sub-divide Lot (may need a variance application with Montgomery county).

I have been crushing the podcast and audio books for the past week now, and feel excited to move into the forums!

I normally expect to pay two dollars a square foot materials and labor for laminate floor installed.The flooring I get is about $.70, the guy charge me a buck and I assume there is some waste.Just had a few small studios done that are a little under 500 ft.², maybe closer to 4 ft.² when you subtract the bathroom.

You can listen to the audio book for free on Youtube.I agree with everyone else.I bought his other books, not worth the money.

Malden which is a suburb around Boston has prices these high for houses and Boston itself has houses that go for at least 1 million for a studio and those are condominiums as well. 

@Torry McFall Travelers by and large go for studios to 2 bedroom by what I see.

The triplex I'm looking at has 2 units in the front and a detached studio in the back that has been illegally rented in the past and would need an ADU permit.

Great strategy down here where the entry level for LTR on a small 250 sq ft studio start around $1K per month and go up from there.
