I loved going back and thinking about some past successes/failures, then breaking down, what was the product of my good or bad decisions, and what was due to external factors. 

If you can really get $325 per night and have decent occupancy, you can use the extra AirBNB income to make additional payments on your primary loan, to slowly reduce the interest and timeframe.

The only portion you should figure the additional cost at 3.75% vs 5.25% is the principle loan amount you have now. 

In addition, solar requires monitoring to ensure that it is working fine and the solar panels need cleaning every few months. 

So, we recently came into some cash and are in a good position to make some additional real estate moves...trying to pick everyone's brains for some advice!

Is there enough room to add an additional bedroom and go from a 3/2 to 4/2 (that's more rent per month)?

Additionally, both property prices and labor prices are generally low in these areas.

Build with an additional dwelling (detached casita/studio or in law suite)3.

I will add it to the next post.Previous owner started the trash out without using a dumpsterNotice the closet, ceiling and wall are all B L U E !!

You could just have a base rent based on the total sq footage and then have a break point to pay additional rent above certain annual sales.
