You can forget about maintain the home if you rent including the possible capital expense items that may happen before you raise your reserve account used to save part of your rental fees plus you will eleminate travel expenses to keep up with its maintenance and possible capital expense repairs.

Our zooming is R5 My question is can I built two more living space units on top of the garages?

But even though I do self-manage, I still have a 10% property management fee built into my cash-flow calculations. 

An attempt to notify the former tenant, storage of their items (with cost to the former tenant if applicable), is standard law wherever I've lived.

I wanted to see if anyone knew where I can find some ideal plans, that have been built and tested.

Prior to recently obtaining my real estate license, I built and sold a successful independent insurance agency located here in Pinellas County.

I would imagine they have gone up quite a bit with the village expanding and updated along with large apartment and living complexes being built. 

Use some common sense to proforma major expense items.

I've talked about this before on BP, but as a handyman investor looking for places I can maintain largely alone, I'm always on the lookout for brick-veneer post-WWII-built 2-bedroom/1bath SFR, side-by-side duplexes, or row houses with simple, low, easily-maintainable roofs.
