My approach has been to acquire/renovate/repurpose/lease-up commercial properties so I appreciate how much work and finesse it takes to match her salary.

As owners, as soon as we were out, we began the renovation on both units, head to toe.

No carpet and fully renovated.

I received incredible advice on my last post and completed a series of case studies in the SF Bay Area.I wanted to dive deeper into the community's recent experiences about renovation items with stronger ROIs and appeal to end buyers.

This is is a very good area and would actually live in 1 unit, so 3-4k negative cash flow for living expenses is ok, as any house w mortgage would cost that.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfbjOlyVsGW3nHLVPk_R...Key questions/assumptions:- Total for this deal in cash is 300k, anything else (reserves, renovation loan etc) would need to be a bridge loan or hard money- 1 unit is vacant and current rents are VERY under market, projected rent is what seller gave as realistic.

I'm trying to do some renovations on a property to get it ready for an STR.   

It’s a 4/2 home that was recently renovated, but not fully.
