Thoughts on 1 bathroom rentals. Do they rent as easily? I have preferred 2 bathroom or atleast 1.5. But its been a seller's market and things going so quick. In suburbs of Chicago.

We have purchased some 3/1’s. First thing we do is put a second bathroom in the basement and created “finished” basement section. Some tenants use it as a rumpus room, or quasi guest area. Doesn’t matter.

Way more difficult in my view for single family homes unless on lower income customers. Obviously it depends on your area.

Look for a 3/1 or 3/1.5 that you can cost effectively add a shower or bathtub / bathroom.

You’ll also immediately get value appreciation if you don’t blow your budget.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree.

I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it more advantageous to have low housing prices and higher interest rate? If that's the case, you can always refinance when/if the interest rate lowers again. Is there something I'm not seeing?
