Get your CRM up and running and keep in contact with everyone with content about the market, keeping in touch with past clients - just asking them how their house is, let them know that you were thinking of them when you drove past the house,  ask them if they made any improvements, etc.

@Dominic Holt , I am happy to review your scenario and suggest changes that could improve your property.

That profit will increase over time and improve your return. 

Since 2020 we've seen large asset value increases and large tax increases, and more modest insurance increases but we've been able to improve our profit margins sufficiently to keep up with inflation and even do a little better in many cases.

This upgrade not only improved comfort but also significantly modernized the property.

Proceeds to segregated account to be disbursed ONLY on rental property improvements and expenses to preserve the deductibility of interest on your Schedule E.

For example, if you buy a home for 100k, and then improve the property and now it is worth 200k. 

I manage my own properties as do my clients; with the electronic resources for screening, rent collection, more - the ROI is greatly improved and you retain control of the property.Hope this helps.

Most folks overestimate the cost to prepare a space for MTR, but you'll figure out cost-savings and improvements with every iteration.

A potential challenge with a HELOCs is they are based on the current appraised value of your home, not the improved value, so you would need to make sure you have enough accessible equity.
