I just wanted to make sure none of that crumbling 100-year old asbestos got into the air and all over the house.If this house is a flip, then I would personally be worried about liability issues.

Used it as an Air Bnb for a few years.

AIR is so sorry in their policies and customer service......

Some of the main improvements include: leveling the floors, tearing out the lath and plaster, new electrical & PEX plumbing, new siding, new roof, all new heating and air, new cabinets, new shower, new windows, replaced the flooring, and new doors.

I rent out the main house, Air b'n'b the cottage, and live in the barn apt.

You might be better off leaving it as a 2/1 and using that $38K for a down payment on a new rental.the 1500 includes taxes and insurance and this property could make a good air bnb, it has a lake view and is 10 mins from the beach.

Or putting it up on air bnb/VRBO/booking.com as a month minimum stay.

When someone upstairs jumps on the floor, the air in the empty cavity between the floors (inside the ceiling) is going to vibrate and create sound - no carpet is going to stop that.

If not, maybe the problem that caused their need has long ago been "handled".Also age of heating system and type (forced air vs steam vs coal).A property inspector will give you a written report of what is found out of line.Good Luck!

In fact, a Rand Corporation study of active duty Air Force members found that the average tour length (length of time in one location) is 53 months for enlisted Airmen and 34 months for officers.
