If they're versed in investment lending I'd bed they could recommend an agent.

Ok, so I did a quick search on AirBNB and Verbo to see what was what in that basic area.From what I can see, 2 bed 2 bath rates are just under 200 a night on VRBO.

We have a two-bed studio unit behind our larger single-family that has been converted into a business.

At least in my market anything that is 2 Bed/2 Bath (or even one) goes for more and in addition opens the market up for buyers and renters. 

How much extra are the 3-beds paying?

The second floor is a 1600 sq. ft. apartment with a separate entrance outside and separated utilities already. it currently is 2 bed/1 bath.Each the units needs about 20k in renovations to be fully operational.

If you have the opportunity to do something with the lots to separate and sell for more that could present another opportunity.I'm in the process of picking up a single family for $65K in Duluth, 3 bed 1 ba that should rent for $1100-1200 with tenants paying utilities.

We ended up buying a single family 4 bed 2 bath home on the north end of town in early may as we had been saving and i wanted to keep the ball rolling on investing and i was also trying to trust the system hoping that my manager would be able to get the other duplex unit rented as well as the single family. well here we are in late june and both are still vacant.

This lead me to convincing my wife that we needed to buy rentals ASAP, so last fall about 5 months after purchasing our primary residence we bought our first duplex in Bay City, we followed up that purchase by buying a 4 bed 2 bath single family rental last month also in bay city.
