We have recently closed on 2 properties that need some remodeling before they are rented.

Plumbing from previous kitchen behind wall (currently no kitchen or cabinets), 1/2 of basement is utilities, laundry, storage & back exit (could extend hallway & turn storage area into 2nd bedroom while enclosing laundry and utilities).- Garage/Backyard: Yard is standard Chicago size with above ground pool that takes up most space (girlfriend wants to keep, I want to get rid of haha).

@Ashley KnodelI use Frigidaire or Amana for my Kitchen Appliances.  

Shared bathroom, shared kitchen, different styles, different noise levels.

Make sure it's in a good area and find something that needs some fixing - added value or that you can add on to the back or redo the kitchen, etc.

In Henderson, I don't believe you would be allowed to install a kitchen in a "casita", unless the property were zoned for multi units.  

Top floor has a 2 piece living room window, a kitchen window, and a sliding glass door.

Wonder if non-GFCI outlets are still legal in kitchen/bathroom with older building in San Francisco?

So we lived in one side with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, kitchen, family room, laundry, garage.

We also own and architectural drafting and design firm and he designs a lot of new builds and remodels and we just thought why not do this for ourselves, too?
