We removed a few walls and made it an open concept home.

It’s a popular way for new investors to dip their toes into real estate because it allows you to generate rental income while reducing or even eliminating your monthly mortgage payment.While house hacking can be done with single-family homes (by renting out rooms), multifamily properties, such as duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, take the concept to the next level.

@James Kerson check out companies already doing (or those that have tried) something similar/same in concept to what you're describing.

It's not a smoke & mirrors concept.

Wall removal is better for sale usually for open concept, and sometimes for rentals, but if you want more occupancy (potential rent by room) removing walls restricts that.

A lot of this type thinking is a result of the individual having no understanding, or conception of interest, principal or “the time value of money”.  

Efficient Renovations: Focused on high-impact upgrades like modernizing the kitchen and bathrooms, improving curb appeal, and installing energy-efficient features, which are highly desirable in this competitive market.Optimizing Layout: Evaluated the property's layout to ensure it met modern buyer preferences, such as creating open-concept spaces.

I don't understand how so many people can live without any concept of a conscious!

If you have followed some of the recent syndication posts you can follow up with that concept.2.
