And that depends on how you view the costs. 

However, in California, each LLC incurs an $800 annual franchise tax plus gross receipts fees if revenue exceeds $250,000, and property insurance may cost more.

Also, how do you balance cost-effectiveness with providing a high-end feel?

Time and practice will still teach you as you do deals but it will help you understand what things costs for the size of the property 

I’d appreciate your perspectives.Here are the details about our current home:3/2 Class A property in a middle-America town with historically ~1% annual appreciation.Purchased in 2020 for $200,000 at a 3% 30-year fixed rate.Remaining mortgage: $150,000.Estimated value: $270,000 (based on recent sales).After selling costs: Likely $100,000 in net proceeds.Rental potential: $2,000–$2,300/month.PITI: $1,200/month ($700 mortgage + ~$500 insurance/taxes).Maintenance/CapEx/Vacancy (20%): ~$400/month.If kept as a rental:Net cash flow (self-managed): ~$500/month or ~$300/month with property management.Low appreciation potential but ~$400/month in principal paydown.Considerations:What’s the additional overhead of managing a second rental property remotely (3 hours away)?

It is a small town, definitely a tertiary market right now, but that is where opportunity is going to be found.I think LTR, in the right location, can provide enough revenue annually to cover all holding and leverage costs while the resident pays down the principle and the demand in the city sustains slow and steady appreciation. 

Focus on key areas first (like floors, walls, kitchen, or bathroom), which may help you handle the costs more gradually, even if it means moving in furniture or updating fixtures down the line.Also, since the tenant left it in rough shape, be sure to document all the damage (photos, receipts) in case you decide to pursue reimbursement through their security deposit or in court.

And that can cost you time and money.

The process from start to finish would take four months and cost ~200k to build, with comps in the area around 355k-lender man said, refinancing would take six months as most lenders wont refinance a property unless its been built for six months, affecting the strategy to get paid out from refinancing quicker and closing out on construction loan-The property would not appraise at comps value, but at the cost it took to build, affecting getting paid out from the refinance.
