I am trying to decide if this is a worthwhile endeavor.From what I have read, the main benefit is early access to MLS for purchasing homes and saving on commission costs while selling homes.This leads to two questions: - Is simply having early access to new listings worth $600, or is it only worthwhile if I plan on flipping and selling a property on my own?

.- Other market trends about the areas TH and individual room rentability - Frequency of renting versus selling in the areaI look forward to the insights you all share!

I don't want to sell the property, however given the need to rent another place for my parents I can't afford to keep it solely on my own. 

Also, if you needed to sell this as a flip, buyers would more likely purchase something that has a 2 bath verses 1 bath.

Five years later I filed the MH as abandoned via the State of Texas process and received my Statement of Ownership from the State.

I am in the process of creating binders for each of my properties with all the information about them including the current leases.

For example, if 3/1 in an area typically sell for $200k per home are their any listed at $150k or below because they need work/rehab?

you're overthinking of the process. 

Looking for advice on selling my home and buying a multiunit.

I own a STR unit at Northstar and managing the permitting process has been pretty easy.
