curious re realty advice (I'm a RE junky, and going through involuntary cold turkey - inventory on http://realtor.com in town is down to roughly ZERO bc winter / covid / city slickers buying up stuff )

Didn't end up being anything too esoteric, "things look good, yeah, finish your projects." Did suggest that, if I can make the BnB section flow a little more like a single-family dwelling as I finish the things there, it's likely to command a premium.

remind me how the house is broken up? 2 halves? 3 thirds? other? would it sell as a two family house, or something else?

In essence two halves, separate addresses. The BnB section I carved up, but in a way that could be easily un-carved. I'd definitely be trying to sell them as a package, I don't want to wash only one hand

right, right, I know you'd sell the whole thing what I'm asking is "what does the market reward - selling it as a large 1 family house, or selling it as a 2 family house, or ... ?"

Oh, oh, misunderstood. Realtor's opinion was that the optimal choice was "two properties that work as two single-family residences", instead of "single family residence + investment property."

I've never lived in a 2 family house (tho
@mr_archenemy has). How does it work? Do you form a micro condo association, and then sell each half as a condo?2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

Precisely! It's actually slightly more complex: the building is a large 1909 that was build (i hear) as a duplex by two brothers, and was later subdivided and condoized. I own two units, which is one original half.

wait so it's ALREADY a condo, and you own two (of four?) units ?

Yep. Got mine, and shortly thereafter, the owner of what became the BnB was highly motivated to sell

ok, so ... 2 units total? 4?
> highly motivated
because of your presence? Do artists really hurt property values THAT much?
