I'd start looking at the construction costs for doing each. Long-term rentals are a lot easier to manage in the long run, while STR take a lot more to run and usually have more fees. They typically are a bit more profitable, but they come with their own headaches. I think I'd look at the following factors:
- How much work do you want to make this? Initially and long-term.
- What is the construction costs and ROI on each investment?
- What are you wanting to do with your portfolio in the long run? How would each of those plans better suit what you are trying to do?
Hope this helps!
William,
You are the man! Thank you for breaking this down for me. My wife and I definitely want to expand our portfolio as soon as possible (still trying to figure out exactly how we will do this).
In the meantime, I am going to get contractor estimates for converting the garage into a 3rd unit (adding 1 kitchen and 1 bathroom) vs splitting the garage in half (additional 1 bath and 1 bedroom X2 units).
Also, am going to use rentometer and airbnb to get comparable cashflows for 3LTRs, 2 (expanded) LTR's, and 2STR's.
Thank you again--I am going to knock this out tonight.
Hi all,
My wife and I recently purchased a 4bed, 2bath duplex (2be, 1ba / unit) that has an enclosed, 400 sq. ft. garage.
We are thinking about converting the garage into a 400 sq. ft. ADU to have 3 long-term rentals.
However, I am wondering if this extra space would provide a better ROI if it were divided into a 200 sq.ft. (additional) bed bath, converting each unit into a 3bed, 2bath--potentially to be used as 2 short-term rentals.
Any advice on how to make this decision would be most appreciated!
