Its usually best to go the permit route when adding bathrooms ect but comes at a cost time/expense wise.

It's time to scale back and stay low key. 

It gave me time to wait for the market to improve, and I used my savings for a down payment on my new home.

I'm not 100% sure on the law, but I know that if you don't clean a dryer vent it's possible to become a fire hazard in time.

When our tenants move in, we collect the first month’s rent along with a one-time, non-refundable move-in fee that’s typically a little less than half of the monthly rent (for example, $600 for a $1300 rental).

I’m interested in doing one of those equity investments where they give you a certain percentage of the equity in your home and you pay it back any time if the future when you move and your home sells. 

Days on market is nearly the same as this time in 2023, showing a reliably strong seller's market, yet not as competitive and crazy as COVID-era.

Most of the people from Airbnb actually stay a few months at a time, I have monthly rates to encourage people stay for a month.

I am curious to know if the proximity to Pennsylvania itself is a crucial factor in renting out the property, or if it would be equally viable to invest in an area further away from the city (with a 1-hour commute time, as opposed to a 30-minute train ride from Haverford).I would greatly appreciate if anyone could provide information on the actual rental prices for an average 3-bedroom house in these areas.

Like flipping, much of your profit will be made at the time of purchase.
