The tagging function isn't working for me right now, so my apologies for not tagging each of you.

Once you work out all the numbers if you find out you can do it legally then of course check with your insurance to see what kind of policy you will need to have the new or remodeled structure properly insured. 

I wouldn't market it as a 1 bed, since you have 2 fully functioning bedroomss, but price it as a one bed to make up for the small living spaces and you should be able to fill it.

The MLS will be only used by you to get the highest price possible for other properties you own..... this is its only function.  

(get seller to pay the closing costs and you can get a decent house pretty cheap)The cons: -you will have to pay PMI for life of the loan- contractors that do the work need to have all proper paperwork, and lead cert if doing lead work (these guys can be a lot more expensive)- 3.5% is based on total project cost, not just the price you pay for the home.
