In suburb cook county it is a little different. 

I believe people should have everything they need to cook with and nice kitchen items to use to cook. 

Yes you partner with them on the individual deal but you get the reps in to become better at watching a deal from start to finish. 

I updated the kitchen with high-end appliances, installed custom cabinetry, and added modern finishes throughout.

I think initially it makes sense to find properties that already have finished basements, in-law suites, etc. as converting those spaces to ADUs will be inexpensive and create a significant amount of rental income ($2,000/month+ in most areas close to the city).

Every house and every area are way different, so is the chopice of finishes.

You can't add a lake but you can build out a great kitchen with everything needed to cook anything.Every STR owner will have a different answer.

Buyers expect premium finishes, so skimping on quality can hurt resale potential.

It's 400 sqft and high end finishes.

I just finished The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner, and it made me even more excited and determined about getting into this business.
