I have a unique perspective from both the good and the bad.

With its gently rolling yard and mid century charm this home is truly unique.

This is an older, unique home so I expected insurance to be high.

Unfortunately your options will be somewhat limited given your unique situation.

Prob the difference here is that my renter market would be much larger and easier to predict.As I write this, I think a lot of this question comes from all the STR success I hear/read about and this market is especially good for that during elections as well, so I guess I am trying to figure out if that is a fad that I am too late on or if it is something I should seriously consider, especially since I kind of have a unique access to a steady stream of renters...I did talk to someone who isn't even downtown and he said leading up to elections he rents his basement unit for $300/mo and it was not even updated!

Unless your husband has a strong foodservice background, is very talented, knows exactly what he's doing and has a very special unique selling proposition you will have a hard time making any serious money in that business right now.

However, on the flip side, thebuilding could sit vacant for a long while in between tenants due tothe uniqueness of this real estate class.

I'm ready for the "Use the search feature" answers but I felt like my situation is unique enough to warrant a post.

Thanks for taking the time to share your unique perspectives and amazing ideas- I truly appreciate it! 

HGTV consumers seem to be obsessed with cooler tones (grays, off whites, etc) these days + a couple of "unique" features that make things pop (light fixtures, a whole wood paneled accent wall, etc.).
