Not going to be a huge cash cow per bed, but with the amount of people moving here (looking for a quick cheap sublease till they find a place they really like), students, and temporary IT and medical workers I don't see myself having any problems filling the other two beds for at least $400/month.

If I can make more money per hour in my career job and use that money to hire someone with the expertise and the right tools, it will cost less money and less time, and I would be at less risk of injuring myself.

STR-zoned areas are available but are few, and most are condos which carry high monthly fees that significantly offset revenues.

Nobody is happy making $X per year.

If accounting isn't your thing, consider hiring a bookkeeper for a couple hundred dollars per month to manage your QuickBooks for you.

From looking at the website’s advertised interest rate (which was 2.75%) my impression was they were just looking at the date the property was purchased and estimating a mortgage payment based on the market rate at that time, 2.87% per Fannie Mae. 

With 8 units that is potentially $50,000 per unit.

I might just spend the extra buck per SF and move to an engineered hardwood product, now that I can't find the $.99 alure any more, the difference isn't as big.

Rent the place and have a delta of -$2k per month I carry each month.
