But the gas and water need to stay in our name as landlords (per the water and gas companies), and we will bill those amounts back to the tenants.We have 1 single man who has 1 child who will live with him 1/2 time in the upper level, and we have 1 single woman who has 3 children who will live with her 1/2 time in the lower level.

Hi, I am in the position to buy a single family historic home with an ADU in the back that currently has a tenant in it paying $1600 a month including utilities.The home has 3 beds and 1 bath  and needs some light work such as floors including leveling of one bedroom where the floor is dipping, a few windows, stair repair, painting  and landscaping as it sits on a 7000sqft lot.

I'd include it in the rental and charge an extra few $ a night.Guest experience is ultimately the only difference between your product and the next one, so why not provide what others don't?

Within a single day's drive, one can reach roughly 75% of the U.S. population.

The train is going to stop at one single station and then you'll have to go to your hotel or Airbnb.

Overall for debt you can expect 20% down for single family and 25% down for 2-4 units.

In general the price per sf will drop as the house gets bigger and drops A LOT when you go from single story to multiple story.

Purchase price: $950,000 Cash invested: $150,000 Single-family residence with potential to add two separate ADU apartments.

You can usually find better deals out there if you are willing to take on a ARM type product such as a 7/1 or 10/1 ARM. 

I have turned my primary single family rowhouse in Philadelphia into a rental.
