Live in renovations for something like a kitchen or bathroom upgrade are possible but messy.

I had them installed during the remodel up there.The first floor where my wife and I currently occupy is also recently updated with a new kitchen, all new appliances and is also a 2 bedroom with a fully finished basement.

For example, the layout of one kitchen might lend itself to adding a dishwasher easily.

Ninety percent of agents fail or quit in the first couple of years because they think the job is easy or they can do it as a side hustle, but why would any client want to work with a part-timer?

These are multifamily properties with multiple kitchen and laundries.   

Plan is to wall it off and convert to a 4br/2ba,  update existing bath and kitchen, new floors,  interior and exterior  paint.

*Note that we interchangeably use the labels: Lodging House = Rooming House = Single-Room Occupancy (SRO) = Co-Housing PropertyThe building has 3 kitchens and 4 full bathrooms, on 4 floors:3rd floor: The 3rdfloor is ‘off-limits’ to the 1st and 2nd floor tenants, so the two 3rd floor tenants enjoy the exclusivity of their own entrance, and a kitchen and bath shared only with one other unit, plus some distant ocean and Boston skyline views.2nd & 1st floors: Eleven units share 1 kitchen and 2 full bathrooms, one on each floor.

@Ariel HernandezSo many chefs in the kitchen.

My wife is a long time real estate agent in the area.
