If you can find a 'prefinished slab' company, you should be able to get a regular size kitchen done in granite/quartz for <$2000.IMHO, it is worth it and can justify a rent increase.

Finding parking at the beach could be as difficult as finding it for a regular vehicle.The city has encouraged development.

After the 12 months payments above you qualify for the exception so you're back to regular/normal LTV's which depends on your occupancy  - second home/primary/investment - it all varies. 

I know you don't want to hear it but your options are really to either stay in the mosh pit of regular houses and fight the pricing wars to the bottom, or invest $100k into the house to price higher. 

And this is separate from regular maintenance my property management companies took care of and deducted from the rental income.So the moral here is that RE is great but you can’t depend on cashflow.

@Arya Chen Another suggestion is to look in the Events & Meetups section of the forums and attend some in person networking events even if you don't live in the areas you're considering investing, if you attend regular events and let people know what you're looking for - you'll be surprised at the connections you can make and where they can get you!
