I would still take out all the sheetrock and replace it with hardyboard or green rock and waterproof everything (redguard) before installing new shower and texturing walls.

Generation X will shortly be purchasing homes for the first time or already are & this demographic is very comfortable with the convenience of online everything & also have a nature of having this instant gratification or instant access to everything as they are apart of technology, so once again, do you feel this new generation will be leaning more towards the instant touch of a button application process over the one on one human service option requiring physical paperwork?  

No need to reinvent the wheel here (though that's my wheel making nature...)

But the nature of my business will also have significantly changed.

Smell was gone, so I didn't need to pull out the sheet rock or do anything crazy.I put in new flooring, painted and rented it out. 

The very nature of house hack is comingling of the personal and business asset, thus putting it in the LLC doesn't make sense.

The services are typically legal in nature, not administrative processing.  

You can do this and so can I.Disclaimer: I haven't done my first deal yet so take this advice with a huge grain of rock salt.

I understand that getting cash now is better than getting cash 15 days from now but I am afraid to rock the boat too much.

So if you have 290k in it, rock bottom minimum rent should be $2900.
