Converted a 5-bedroom property into co-living at $800 per room, generating $4,000/month.Strong cash flow with the right systems. 

One unit that I’m living in is already renovated as a mini split new floors all that.Hi, I’m looking for ways to increase the value of my four family without displacing tenants to do renovations.

I was able to comp single bedrooms at $1k per month with shared bath and $1,800 per month with separate bath. 

It is all bedding, mattress, linens etc.https://home.woot.com/plus/refresh-your-bedroom-1I am dropping this here for you guys to peruse and see if there is something that you can use.

Let’s turn this thread into a mini support group for MTR hosts.Whether it’s finding reliable guests, convincing landlords, or handling turnovers — drop your #1 challenge below.I’ve coached hundreds of hosts and can share real solutions that worked (not theory).Sometimes all it takes is one strategy tweak to turn things around.So… what’s holding you back right now?

Plus many townships require grounded outlets in bedrooms, I'll install a GFI in a pinch but better long-term to just run a couple new outlets.  

If you need some duct work, maybe consider upgrading to a mini-split systemI thought about that, but would a mini-split system be cheaper?

Both are two bedroom.

Real-life landlord experience (our portfolio + contractors):We manage units with:Small workshopsAuto baysWarehousesFlex spacesIndustrial officesAnd the pattern is always the same:👉 Tankless = headaches, callbacks, and premature failure👉 Mini-tank = install and forgetThe reliability alone is worth more than the theoretical efficiency.Bottom LineFor industrial sink use:✅ Go with a 3–5 gallon traditional electric tank heater❌ Avoid small electric tankless unless you absolutely need endless hot water(which you don’t in this setup)Your electrical panel, your tenants, and your maintenance budget will thank you.

I'd also like to double down on a massive opportunity I've seen in this space: the owner-occupant arbitrage.Because rent-stabilized properties are primarily valued based on their actual income (which is capped), and not on their potential market income, they can trade at a significant discount to comparable condo or market-rate residential properties.For buyers who are looking for a forever home, the ability to purchase a multi-unit building and owner-occupy a unit can be bargain.
