Both properties are in A areas with great tenants. 

By focusing on cost-effective improvements, investors can significantly enhance property value.By first Identifying which renovations offer the highest ROI—typically kitchens, bathrooms, and curb appeal. 

@Cole Starin sometimes it makes sense to sell the WORST property in your portfolio.Another option is why do a LOC on the duplex, when you could just do a $100k cashout refi to pay off all your debt AND keep the property?

I also have been told that is not true, therefore I ask you since you deal in different states do you use only one wholesaling contract in all states?

So just because it's a loan on a rental property doesn't necessarily mean the interest will be deductible. 

My fiancé and I are looking to buy our first short term rental property.

My recommendation would be to engage an investment property focused realtor (not a general residential realtor) and let that person guide you through the process from pre-qualification to market/property valuation and selection. 

The key is not the number of properties.

Has your property been improved by getting the WH?
