For smaller properties, I’ve seen people do a “mini” version themselves breaking out things like appliances, flooring, and landscaping for faster depreciation.

My living rooms are 12’ X 22’, so I’m considering dividing a few to make 12’ X 9’ 3rd bedrooms, leaving living rooms of about 12’ X 13’.

Calculate (estimate) how long before your investment has doubled.

Hi,I'm just starting to look for my first property and I came across a 2 family with a 7 bedroom unit.

The measure the size of each bedroom and determine the maximum number of warm bodies that can sleep in them.

That is nuanced, but a few key elements are not taking the current financials, including rents at face value, another would be adding interior space without creating a bad floor plan, which is often converting a sunroom to a bedroom, finishing a walk-up attic, or finishing an unfinished basement.  

The September 2025 U.S. employment report, delayed by the government shutdown, showed that employers added 119,000 jobs, more than double the expected 50,000.

Motivation....they have to have a driving force like:New job in new location, must move before job starts.Life event....marriage, kids, divorce, retirement....must get more bedrooms or reduce expenses.Investor with cash they want to invest...especially 1031 clients.Everyone who is comfy in their house and just "thinking" of moving, is NOT moving. 

Have no problems with double closings.

.- Provide white noise machines, box fans, and earplugs in each bedroom.- Are any of the bedrooms on the roadside of the house?
