Extra bathrooms (even 1/2 baths) can be very good and garages are nice as well.

If the Listing Agent still refused to open the door of their own listing for an extra $500 in commission, ask them if they would consider doing it for $1,000 extra commission in Buyer Agent Rebate to increasing the Listing Agent's commission 

I also agree with Chad that you'll learn more about the note business from a JV than you would with a fund though I'd add you could also possibly earn a higher return.  

Extra closing costs with this option?

Stacy , if you want to make money with Airbnb the unit will need to have people provide 5* reviews .When your doing the garage rehab make sure you are designing a theme or design that will entice people to want to come back and of course leave great reviews With a garage you likely will need to go a little extra step in making it pop and keep the Benjamins rolling inId be happy to give you some guidance on themes or layouts for a free night stay :) Send me a PM Best of luck 

I’ve heard all the pros and cons but i think extra education (especially in a field you want to thrive in) is always a great idea.

@Nels NorquistRealtor's earnings normally get reported on a 1099.She should be tracking items such as expenses for showing clients properties.

You’ll find these have identical layouts, making it very easy to renovate, easy for maintenance, and the basement can become storage and laundry for extra income.

Good luckJayGood There are lots of different lenders out there and that's where a good broker earns their money. 

@Pandu Chimata ,The gain on the sale of the property is not taxed until your 2018 taxes are due in 2019, but if you made a significant profit, you might want to ensure that your W-2 withholding, if you have a regular job, is enough to cover the extra taxes you owe on the profit or make estimated payments so that you dont pay any penalties for underpayment of taxes you owe when you file your taxes 2019.
