She has zero interest in Real Estate.. compare that to some mid west factory... your not going to find fully functioning restaurant in the facility feeding people for FREE .. free day care FRee massages etc etc.

If not,  adding it to the second floor,  as long as you have a functional space for it would be the best option. 

there is a Risk=Reward function  I get that you need a higher Paper return to justify those properties.

It's also a collective decision on the functionality of the home.

Fundamentally, it's not a bad deal financially, depending on the deferred maintenance needs (if any) and the functional life of the major components.  

Appraisers don't give you any credit for having new versus functional features.  3.  

Large mobile home park owners with lots of assets take due care to ensure that they separate the various business functions from one another under a management company to protect their personal assets.  

Then again, she could pick up a click who says they're in no rush to buy and they buy the first house they see.Also, have you used the search function? 

It's not so much a question of what is better - laminate or vinyl (plank or sheet), but what types of flooring are applicable to your situation.While quality laminate (AC3 - AC5) offers a "good looking", functional floor for the price, it does not handle moisture well and can be noisy for tenants below (depending on the sound deadening measure taken in the floor/ceiling boundary).Vinyl tends not to mimic wood as well as laminate {if that is the look you seek}, but it is non-organic, so a good fit for humid or wet areas (bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, direct over slab, etc).  

It's currently set up as a (2) storefront like spaces just over 500 sq. ft each.Rather than scrapping it, I am thinking of adding a 2nd level 3 bedroom unit so that you now have a fully functioning business space and an attached but seperate house.
