First STR: Traverse City, MI

[Bob Lett]

Finally reached our goal of getting a property under contract in 2020. Hoping to close by end of Dec or beginning of January. The home we bought is a 3bd/2.5ba. There is plumbing in the basement for another full bath and rough framed for another bedroom. According to the septic inspection report, it is sized for a 3 bedroom home. Is it worth getting the approval for the 4th bedroom or just have it as an "office"?

It is a walkout basement and the 4th room in question does have a window that meets egress standards.

Congrats on your purchase! East Bay is one of the easiest townships to have a STR in Traverse City -- Good luck!
