Basically the title. 

What I'm basically asking is, how do I find the right balance between cash flow and increased building value? 

However if you were able to see that there was moisture in the basement and that they had humidifiers running, then it may be a tough case to argue that these things weren’t disclosed when it would have been obvious there was an issue with a basic visual inspection prior to closing.

This chart basically shows me which City's are most desirable (can do the same with Zip Codes):Anything to the right of 0 means the $/sf is growing QoQ on average, and the height is the current $/sf of that market.

Really apologize if this is a stupid question, but I’m new to RE investing so I hope to get some help with this basic question. i recently went into contract for my first rental property out of state (PA).

Thank you would it cost more then 200,000 to just do the basics like, insulation, electric, roof and plumbing?

Write out the basic numbers. 

I think most locals are aware of the history of STRs proposals/cases in Portsmouth, Laconia’s existing restrictions limiting non-owner occupied STRs to resort/shorefront only, VT's local option tax that allows a 1% tax above the state's existing 9% tax, Portland cap on STR permits and increases tied to inflation, and it's also probably a good idea for folks to understand NH's Senate Bill 249, which proposed a "ban of local bans" around STRs and basically died on the floor(?)

It was extremely hard to get information about properties while owners and brokers seemed a lot more careless and missed basic things.  

I have never heard of anyone paying 12 points (which this basically is) however I know people that do it as low as 1% (myself included) most places I see are 1-2% and most charge some paperwork fee.
