I'm not sure if you plan to rent out the entire house or do a rent-by-the-room but you should charge as much money as you can so that you can keep the extra cash.

With the grace and mercy of GOD I will own my 1st Real Estate Investment property before the end of this year this will be 1 of many as I plan on retiring early so that I will be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor and help others where needed 

My husband and I planned to move back in and sell our other home but he got very ill and we were unable to make the move.

Consult Historical Zoning Information: Combine what you see on Google Maps with historical zoning data available from local city planning offices.
