(I Like Your Floor Plan as is, this is just some food for thought)Depending on your budget for this, and how nice you want to make it (it is your own home after all):One thought I had was the 3x5 shower pan.

I am not panning to quitting my W-2 job anytime soon but as I start to invest in RE and find house-hack deals, I have a few questions for the BP community to help me get started:1) What are some tools I could use to find a good market near the bay area to house hack in?

Total remodel from top to bottom, paint floor, new showers tubs, toilets, kitchen appliances base molding and crown, What was the outcome?

If a tenant clogs a toilet and sink is that their responsibility?

Also, will we still be able to find SFR deals that pan out when interest rates go up like crazy following prices that don't seem to stop increasing due to strong demand and lack of inventory?

We want to invest in a waterfront property in Crystal River/Homosassa, FL area as a STR but now with interest rates, it's not panning out and making it impossible to purchase something sustainable as I'm not confident the rent will cover the mortgage, taxes and insurance, let alone the utilities.

If it does, they will not have functioning plumbing for the remainder of their lease (no sinks, no toilets, no showers).

Imagine having a tenant having a leaking toilet or letting the house run for months, not paying the bill then splitting on the bill leaving the landlord stuck on the hook for thousands or even 10s of thousands in water bills that have to be paid.

This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.
