[00:00] And so here's the thing with these smaller rooms. >> You take what the house gives you first. I mean, if you have a room that's 80 square feet that's already part of the house, that's fine. You don't need to make it any bigger because you can price that one a little bit lower because

[00:12] you're going to have a working person who needs a clean house and a place to lay their bed and they don't need the bigger room, which you can charge more money and all the other amenities. They go, "Look, I just need a bed. I need a bathroom. We're good to go. Internet that you're all set." So, but um the

[00:28] larger rooms you'll get longer stays and it just seems like you know we have one house that it's six bedrooms and they have one small room and the owner insisted a queen-sized bed goes in that room and it just that's a house we have a guy there three and a half years but it's hard to keep someone in that other

[00:44] small tiny room for three and a half months. Yeah, they threw a big bed and small room and so but again, >> not every house is going to turn into a small room, but we want to try to get so squeezing as many rooms in as possible. When you're running the numbers, it makes sense. Hey, I can get two extra

[00:59] rooms. I can make extra money. But when you can't fill the rooms or they're constantly turning, then maybe really in the long term wasn't worth

Questions this video helps answer

How do I buy and sell at the same time?

It is a juggling act, but it is doable with the right plan. The key is timing your sale and purchase so you are not stuck paying two mortgages or left without a place to live.

Sometimes that means listing your current home first with a flexible closing date. Other times it means making the purchase contingent on selling your current home. There are also options like rent-backs, short-term rentals, or using equity to bridge the gap. I walk clients through each scenario and the numbers behind it.

How far in advance should I plan if I am relocating to Tampa Bay?

Ideally, start planning three to six months in advance. That gives you time to research neighborhoods, get pre-approved for financing, schedule home tours, and arrange moving logistics.

If you are selling a home in another state, I can coordinate with your local agent so the timing is more controlled and you are not stuck in limbo between closings.

How long does it usually take to close in Tampa Bay?

Most closings in the Tampa Bay area take 30 to 45 days from contract to keys in hand. Cash deals can close in under two weeks, while VA, FHA, and conventional loans often take closer to 45 days.

The biggest factors affecting the timeline are financing, inspections, repairs when necessary, and appraisal. I help keep the process moving by coordinating directly with lenders, inspectors, and title companies.
