- add third bedroom after moving the water heaters and electrical to the other side of the basement in the back.

Unit 1 (2 bd / 1 ba): Currently unoccupied - Rent for 1400. Because this is FHA, this will be the one that my wife and I will live in. I plan on projecting this rent and pay this into the overall cashflow of the building as if I am renting from myself.
