Its worth the money because it saves me time, and money every single time.

As for short term rentals, they have stopped issuing permits for them as far as single family homes renting out the entire home. 

It is a single Family 3 BD/1.5 BA that havs the potential of $90 - $100K resale.

We pay for the service and the service provider delivers the bins, and replaces them when necessary.For our single family properties, we require the tenant to pay for their own garbage and recycle service.

I have heard multiple stories of people who bought performing to get to non-performing and didn't even receive a single payment before they became non-performing notes bought at a premium so keep that in mind as well.

@Brian Faust HomeReady is only 3% for single family homes - duplexes require 15% down. 

The issue is that this single property has a need for a specific skill set, my father in this particular scenario, and this same job will be outsourced in the future.

Not possible to convert a single unit into a multiunit property any longer in DC.

So over the last 8 years, I've purchased 3 single-family rental homes that all cash flow at 1% or better.

I'm thinking about a few options:  1) Airbnb it, 2) rent it out, 3) sell my house (with this new unit) or 4) convert both structures to condominiums (if even possible).I'm also considering renting out my own house too (single-fam), ~1,500-sf, 3BR, 3BA.
