We’ve found doing value add to be a way to force appreciation and add cash flow when we got our house… we added an ADU and house hack with a midterm rental to generate the additional income and make a bigger home actually affordable but still flexible for when family visit 

adding a half bath, complete reno.What was the outcome?

Also, do taxes, insurance, mortgage interest, depreciation get added back in? 

A tenant shall promptly notify a landlord when the tenant knows of or suspects an infestation of bedbugs in the tenant's dwelling unit.I like the idea of adding a clause saying "we'll deliver the home pest free and and handle pest treatment for the first two weeks"...would you mind sharing what you have in your lease?

We added value by making a accent while in the living room, as well as refreshing all the furniture and decorations, painting the property, making a back door. back door out of the master bedroom because there was no way to get to the backyard without having to go through the side as well as some landscaping & new washer dryer.

The coincidences are adding up now to where I'm very suspicious. 

Offering It and adding it to the rent, might be partnering??

Partner Driven added value by leveraging its strategic market knowledge and efficient transaction process.

I'm a first time investor, and all these things are adding up to be a huge headache and source of anxiety for me.
