From the few owner's I have spoken to I have heard $80-100k for larger 5/6 bed homes, but this is the total furnish cost all in. 

Its in an A+ area, 3 bed, 2 bath, garage, and outbuilding. $36K PP, est budget $50-60K, ARV $140-150K. 

Rents are dropping and vacancies increasing and you want to select a rental investment that will be more desirable than a basic 2 bed 1 bath unit. 

You're talking about some expensive conversions just to put more heads in beds.

A Kissimmee 5-bed pool home will perform totally differently than a Gulf-side bungalow in Naples.If you’re brand new to STRs, maybe start with a place you could also use personally a few weeks a year — that way you’re getting lifestyle value even as you learn the ropes.Jeanette, I really hope this helps you a bit and gives you a better outlook of the area, I sent you a DM on BP... it's one of the reasons I do this, I hope you can assist.

.-  Fall stuff, seems like a never ending list of outdoor tasks for the season, mostly around pulling down a harvest and getting the beds ready for next year.

In northern NJ, start simple: get a clean buy box for rentals (target price range, beds/baths, towns, minimum cash flow), get preapproved, and analyze 50–100 on‑market deals to learn the numbers fast; if they don’t cash flow locally, don’t force it—house hack a small multi or expand to nearby landlord‑friendlier submarkets.

We pulled separate permits for the ~1300 sq ft house and the 400 sq ft 1 bed 1 bath detached garage conversion in the back. 

Quote from @Marc Shin: I'm thinking about putting some snacks (oreas, pringles, popcorn, trailmix, granola bars etc) and drinks (coke, sprite) in my 1 bed 1 bath to improve the guest experience.
