Whenever economic indicators lead to a confidence in a soft landing, it just prolongs the economic expansion but at the same time builds more systemic risk into the system.  

Started to look at available systems.

Not everyone ( like me ) is versed at how to use these systems..

Unique features like land and outdoor amenities can add value, and utilities can increase rent.

Before you dig into construction costs, I would try and find someone who can finance it as a tree house is unique and not every lender may finance that.

I can only really speak for Tampa but if you buy a unique and/or amenity rich property in the right part of town and do all of the management pieces right you can and likely will be successful. 

We're looking to renovate something before the end of the year to accomplish 2 things: 1) Improve home value so we can get appraisal, refinance and leverage that to buy a new property. 2) Take advantage of the tax credits that are out there in 2024 before the new year or is it better to wait until 2025 and just hold onto the cash I have at hand.Here is a list of renovations that will need to be done eventually:*Brand new basement kitchen (cabinets + add seating area - we already have brand new dishwasher, fridge, gas oven)*New standing shower in the basement bathroom*New Siding*AC/Furnace for unit 1 are close to end of life but still functioning*New Fence/landscaping*New Windows for the basement*New Garage (unstable, concrete shifting, very old)*Solar Panels on the roof (There is a $0 down payment lease option w/ sunrun, but I'm hesitant to move forward)*Renovate master bedroom closet for tenants (it is old & has built in entertainment center that is very dated)*Repair Catch basin*Adding better drainage system for back door.Greatly appreciate any help, insight or advice!

This home was very unique for Evergreen in that it was perfectly set up for a house hack, and it is super rare to find them in Evergreen.

A unique funding source4.

Would be cool if I could split the  VA loan and buy two houses in the same year.Resources, experience, systems and networking.
