Is there any viability to dividing one of the units into 2 (i-bdrm) units?

Thanks for the input.I guess dividing it like that would create more issues than gains.

If you've placed 150k into the property, i.e. down payment etc - to calculate your return you'd calculate: 2,000 = x% of 150,000 OR2,000 divided by 150,000which equals a return of 1.33%The wild card here is, Seattle as I understand it has had a strong housing market in recent times.

From a zoning perspective and re-dividing up a residential plot of land- does anyone have any experience or insight into potential issues re-drawing the property lines in the event the neighbor was willing to sell a portion of his land?

Apologies first for such amateur question: in new developments, when construction companies quote construction cost for "$ X/sf", is this number usually "the total construction cost divided by living square foot ONLY" or "the totally construction cost divided by total square footage of the structure, for example, including garage (sf that are not counted when selling to buyer)"? 

It states that one month’s rent divided by the all-in purchase price should be 1% (.01) or better.

The metroplex is pretty broad, so we tend to divide ourselves that way.

It is your net cashflow divided by your net proceeds (minus realtor and other fees).
