With a favorable market and minimal improvements needed, we saw a profitable opportunity to capitalize on the high demand in the area.

I am eager to engage with like-minded individuals who are focused on improving their financial situations.With a strong background in sales, I’m also interested in potential collaborations, particularly in wholesaling properties, where my sales expertise could be a valuable asset.I look forward to connecting with those who share similar goals.Best regards,Dan

@Dan Stelmach You can reduce your capital gains by writing off expenses like the $25K in improvements, closing costs, legal fees, and real estate commissions.

For the ground floor (non-permitted) we need to do some bathroom improvements which are not presently to code.

I am eager to get started on locking in my first investment property and have questions on what my best approach would be.I own my home and have been making slow improvements to it over the last year I have had it.

These are areas where I find I can generate best return on my building Improvements & that’s where I’d recommend you focus any spending. 

We added value to this property by investing $20,000 in key renovations, focusing on improving curb appeal, modernizing the interiors, and ensuring the home met market demands.

Although my cost of capital was cheap (2.5% 30yr fixed), the increased STR supply resulted in a more hands-on approach by me (better marketing, improving the quality of my check-in hose, services, etc) and this wasn't turning out to be as 'passive' as I would have liked (I've been managing my own LTRs for close to a decade, so perhaps I'm spoiled).

I suspect even if it is an improvement I could likely expense it under the Deminimis Safe Harbor if under 2.5K anyway?  

Fulton County tax records show the property is a coded as a duplex (style field of Improvement Information box).
