Hello,My brother and I recently purchased our first single family home rental property in Des Moines.

Being single with no kids gives you a lot of flexibility.

Most do single family but people show up that do everything from mobile homes to multi.

@Richard Ladenberg the conventional rule to use rental income on a property you are purchasing is that the appraisal that is ordered on the property will include a rental comparison report.  

I was looking for some insight on splitting up a property.I am purchasing a single family home in Cedarburg and would like to split up the land to build another single family home.Thanks,Tyler Pagel

I have really appreciated every single  advice and  I have also learned quite a bit.

What do your CURRENT business accommodation figures look like in comparison (for the Landlord)?

So I currently am holding a single rental property and am planning on financing 2-3 more in the near future.

Originally posted by @Crystal Em:Never tried it myself, but I like the idea of doing tile above a one-piece shower/tub surround in a rental.It gives you the option of going with a higher end/more expensive tile since you're using less than if you tile the whole surround, and it seems to be a "tenant proof" option since it's less likely to get dirty or damaged.Some examples: I'm a huge fan of the single piece tubs because there is no caulk that gets gross and needs to be replaced or grout that discolors.How much do you pay for single piece tubs, what brand, where, etc?

My other option would be to buy a 2 or 3 bedroom single family and rent the additional bedrooms.
