Designed for STR, reasonable, intuitive, great support.

Our goal is to design/build a house that can legitimately be a big SFR or a Padsplit property.

Mainly I’m trying to avoid “aged poorly design” glassblock walls, small bedrooms, older windows (wood/aluminum, single pane), aluminum patio covers, and to a lesser extent landscaping.

This makes it harder for a buyer to evaluate and feel comfortable paying market price for the property. 4.

Once you get through move in, the day to day management is pretty hands off and easy (famous last words, but so far, so good).Other than that, get a second opinion/eye from someone you trust - preferably a professional designer - on the furnishings and design.

Lot's of lenders will want local (boots on the ground) to feel comfortable doing a loan.  

My mentor helped ALOT with advice, helping me stage she used to be a fashion designer in NYC (where I'm originally from) and is now both an Airbnb arbitrage investor and a real estate agent where she personally stages all her properties that she sells or Airbnbs.

You’ll want to make sure the rental income comfortably covers the new mortgage, taxes, insurance, and any maintenance costs.

For design, it really depends on your preference? 

I'd feel more comfortable with 50/50, so the next big chunk goes to RE.
