I am an investor in Clearwater, Fl from NJ, one year ago, I purchased a property in Clearwater, I surprisingly found out there is a large garage in the backyard have existing plumbing and electricity in it, also I can tell the previous owner have already turned the garage into two bedrooms in-law suite, but they cover all the things up for selling process, so I wonder 1. if necessary to invest more money to upgrade the garage into an in-law suite, so I can rent out to one or two tenants for extra cash 2.

Flat, even floor - floating luxury vinyl planksUneven floor that cannot easily be corrected - adhesive vinyl planks.

But as stated before, I would rather this new house to house hack especially seeing that I could personally use the inlaw suite with its own kichen, living, dining and laundry with minimal work needing for this configuration.

We installed luxury vinyl plank flooring in the basement, both bathrooms and the kitchen.

Then lets say property A needs a repair and so does property B.If a law suite happens, how do you prove that rent from property A paid repair for property A?

All of ours sold as luxury condos except for one.

As a flipper in Las Vegas and with my experience as a regional property manager, and in construction I've wanted to take this on for a while and now feel that the time is right and I'm uniquely suited for this niche.

But then after that, you would need to buy a single-family home and work with a realtor and ask them to help you look for properties that have the potential to be converted to a duplex - which can be challenging, because their inherent structures themselves might not be suited for what you're trying to do (especially if you're trying to add a bathroom or separate heating, or plumbing units.
