Construction has begun on my little downtown mountain home! This actually started faster than planned, which never happens. Here are more details and processes that are happening in real-time.
Zoning: This property is zoned both commercial and residential which gave me a lot of freedom to decide on which way to build and lease for the future. It was being used as commercial and I have decided to make it back into a long term lease home. To do that I needed to make sure it would be attractive to potential renters in the future.
Current state: 3 bedroom / 1.5 bath and no kitchen.
Construction Plan: I am making it a 3 bedroom / 2 bath and kitchen. The kitchen and baths are vital to a good rental. Of course, I have to add a kitchen since it did not have one, but I am expanding the living/dining area into one big kitchen/living area. The downstairs half bath which splits the two bedrooms will be upgraded with a large walk-in shower and floating vanity with two sinks. This way the two bedrooms can split it and have their own sinks. That is a small expense that looks like a big upgrade.
