First post so take it easy on me. I'd like to analyze past projects to see if it was a good decision to invest capital into a renovation project. Below are all of the factors that play into these projects and why I ha...

If you purchase in the right location, have the design and amenities people are looking for, you would probably do aright.

What types of amenities are tenants currently demanding and anticipated to be demanding?  

The kitchen is what's sold me in my first house and it'd a great lay out in my current house.My next house I'll be a bit more specific - bigger deeper sinks, pasta faucet even if I only use it once a yesr for a big jug of summer iced tea lol and a dishwasher, walk in pantry are on my check list.I feel other amenities like skylights or big windows, cellars for dry storage would be cool too but I'm not really a big baker or canner lol.Now it's got me thinking - imagine a hidden island?

Amen! 

Showcase the best features of your property and make sure the photos are appealing and attractive.Detailed description: Write a detailed and engaging description of your rental property, highlighting its unique features, amenities, and location.

Realistically, your new construction will rent for and sell for more than older inventory in the market, given no deferred maintenance and modern amenities.  

You can get top dollar likely, but it still needs to be reasonable and comparable. if it’s a declining town with not many attractions or amenities, then it’s likely there’s no rentals available because nobody wants to live there. mot sounds like you may be describing more situation #1, in which case it’s a ripe opportunity if you can get a deal on a property

The HOA amenities are all made available to guests, etc.

Amen brother.......But you kno those landlord tenant laws in Portland, New York & California are created with everything but common sense.
