@Allison LevineDepends on your strategy and goals. 

@Chris Waugamanwell, depending on your strategy and goals...You might want to sell, outright or via 1031, so that you can take that equity and scale into more properties. 

I currently have an upstairs common area with 3 walls, and I am interested to convert that into a bedroom.

The project's primary goal is to offer comfortable and affordable living spaces while ensuring the property adheres to Pretty Good House principles and incorporates the sustainable building practices championed by experts like Joe Lstiburek and Allison Bailes.

Such a career would mesh well with your goals and you can get licensed in 6 months.

This is all about what you're comfortable with and what your long term goals are.

Connecting on BP is great, nonetheless finding local investors, partners, agents, and lenders will get you closer to your goals. 

John thank you so much John, I really appreciate it, what are the common term that hard money lenders usually use about time and interest? 

My goal is to have a property where I can put 5-20% down, and be able to airbnb it to cover a decent chunk of the mortgage payment and be able to visiting a couple months of the year.If anyone has any experience with this I would greatly appreciate to connect with someone!

Maybe take a breather, reassess your goals, and explore other investment options that align better with your risk tolerance and financial objectives.
