But seems to me that anyone doing STR does not benefit much for that really marginal extra penny.

And possibly convert extra space(dinning room ect) in to bedrooms. 

If you’re confident in getting that closet added and the risk of the attic conversion being compliant is manageable (perhaps even in the eyes of your lender or insurance), it could definitely be worth the extra rent and value boost.Is the juice worth the squeeze?

Doing the math, if a seasoned fix and flipper had a well-oiled efficient process and was able to consistently hit $50k per house (after costs and overhead required to go at that pace), he/she would have to do 34 flips in 21 months to make what we made on one deal.

An extra $2,000 or $2,500 is not ideal, but you can rectify the problem once and for all.

The early withdrawal penalty is just $5,000, but they avoid all those costs I just mentioned, avoid the RMD issue, and get extra benefits like the step-up in basis for heirs.Your comment: "Hopefully this comment won't get me ejected."

I think I can get $1150 for the side I live in because we did a little extra in the renovation.

Also units that have extra living space to convert to an additional bedroom would be ideal.

If you are trying to maximize cashout many programs nowadays ask for 4 months of PITI prepaid which reduces your cashout, so finding a program that doesn't ask for that is basically equivalent to an extra 2-5% cash at closing.
