I am also looking for the most cost efficient method.

It depends on where you live. If you live in a city that has a subdivision of "Craigslist", which in NY is newyork.craigslist.com (check www.craigslist.com ) and then go to the rightside of that main page to see if your city is listed. If so, click on that city, and then enter in your listing under "homes for sale".
Put in as much information as you can. Put in pictures on the ad. Have an open house on a sunday from say 1:00 - 2:30 PM. Make sure you get everyone's phone # and e-mail address before they leave your home! Make sure you find out what the buyer wants before they come to your home! If they're looking for a 3-bedroom thats 1200 square feet and a 2-car garage, and you have a 4-bedroom that is 1500 square feet, with no garage, tell them this, so that you won't waste you rtime and theirs.
To get a price in mind to sell your home at, go to www.realtor.com and enter in your city's info, and search for similar homes. Price your home accordingly.
When you get offers, find out what % they can put down, when they can close, and how much they make, and where they live now and how much they pay.
Consider all offers, because someone that offers less than you're looking for, but can put down 20% is much more likely to get a loan than someone that offers a higher price but can only put down 3% or so.
After you get that all set, or even before, look for an attorney to do the paperwork for you. Very simple. So, you do NOT need a realtor to help you!! I've sold 2 of my homes this way, and saved obviously a bundle.
Good luck!

How much money would be needed?

...for the software, computer, and the additional things needed to make a bedroom into a recording studio?
Answer
It's going to depend a lot on what you're going to be recording. If you're going to produce all the sounds on the computer, you'll need a really fast computer, sequencing software, and software sound modules that you install on your hard drive that produce the actual sounds. Figure $2000 for the computer, $400 for the sequencing software, and about $500 for the sounds.
If you're looking to record keyboards onto the computer, you won't need the sound module, but you will need some way to get the keyboard sounds into the computer. If you're lucky, and you only want to record one keyboard, if it has a USB port on the back, you can plug it directly into the computer. If it doesn't, or if you want to record multiple instruments at the same time, you'll need a mixing board. You can get one for as little as $30 or $40, but it's going to be very limited in what you can do, and you'll quickly outgrow it. It's my experience that mixers with knobs to control the volume are a PITA. Plan on spending at least $150 for a mixer with volume sliders, called "faders". When you get a mixer, look at getting one with "phantom power" (I'll explain in a moment). If the mixer comes with built-in effect, that's even better--nothing makes a recording sound flat and amateur more than having a completely "dry" (no effects at all) sound. Also look and see what extras are packaged with the mixer. You might find that you can buy a $400 mixer, and it comes bundled with sequencing software, so it ends up saving you money. Throw in a C-note or so for cables, and we're looking at a minimum of $2500 for computer, mixer and cables. This assumes you have (or can borrow) the keyboards.
If you want to add guitars into things, some people have had luck doing "direct injection", where the output of the amp is plugged directly into the mixer. If that just doesn't work for you, you'll need to buy at least one microphone, a mic stand, and a cable. A "middle of the road" dynamic mic with stand and cable would add about $100 to the cost, so now, we're looking at $2600.
If you want to add vocals, unless your vocalist is a screamer, you'd probably want a "condenser" microphone. They're much more responsive to subtle changes in the sound, do make the vocalist sound better. Condenser mics generally require phantom power, so even if you're not doing vocals right now, it's nice to have it in the mixer for when you want it If you know exactly what you're looking for, and catch a sale, a reasonable condenser can be bought for $100, but usually $200 or so will get you a better sounding microphone. Add in a stand, "pop filter" (really necessary for vocals), cables and maybe a "shock mount" for the mic (if it doesn't come with one) and you're probably looking at $300, so that would bring your total up to $2900. Warning: Condenser mics get very expensive very quickly--it's not unusual for professional recording studios to have mics that are $3000 to $4000. Each. I happened to inherit a couple of vintage Neumanns from my father that are actually worth more than my car, and are kept safely tucked away in a safety deposit box.
So we're at $2900. You'll also need stands for the keyboards and mixer--if you need one of each, that's about another $125. Tack on a hundred dollars or so for odds and ends--you might need a music stand, cable ties, etc.
That sounds like just over $3100 if you wanted to set up a home recording studio that would do all the basic stuff you need.
