Rates went up, prices started to fall (meaning refinancing was off the table), and no one could sell because demand was in the toilet.

.:  Hi Jacob,You seem like a newbe at this.If you can find this square space you can slip a bathroom into it.If you can find a space 6 inches longer, and your renter pool has a lot of overweight people in it, you can opt for a 60 in x 36 in shower pan setup to keep them from bumping up against the walls.Also you can easily put in a bathtub if you think you renters would rather have that (small children typically) .With no bath you may turn away renters with small children--It's unpredictable, but I think a big shower makes the space feel bigger, and with the flexi hose wand part, ladies can comfortable use it instead of a bath--although for some you may have to point that out.So for a shower, there could be downsides, with a bath less risk--that's your call.I put in a storyboard to help you think about it better.Also I swapped the window for a bathroom type window.Many say windows in a shower can be problematical, but you have one now and when showing the unit in other than winter, having that window open makes the bath feel fresh, and a surround would cover the old window.

I was on the other side of this last year as a purchaser, I inspected a home in Scottsdale and didn't like a few of the items in the report like roots in the sewer line, a poorly installed leaking toilet pump, etc.

Next, Toilet rings was leaking and PM promptly fixed the issue5.

That often leads to tenants not monitoring water usage from running toilets, kids playing with a hose and leaving it running, tenants cranking heat to 90 degrees in winter while opening windows, and more abuse stories.

Some rentals in this area seem to be successful with minimal amenities i.e. composting toilets, solar panels, no running water bring your own cooler type of place.

She wants to know how to do the below items:She wants to be able to paint the whole house inside & out, fix a leak, install toilets, patch up holes in the wall lay tile/wood in the kitchen, house diy projects & learn how to use power tools.

They recently tried to clean a backup of a toilet and they drill 3 holes in the iron pipes which is unnecessary according to 3 visits from 3 separate plumbers my wife met up there.

If it doesn't pan out, you may have another customer if your service is superior...

Don't read my old posts, they are nothing but horror stories and would discourage you from doing STRs.  2 weeks ago I was using water from my toilet to make coffee.
