They come on checkout day, whatever day that happens to be.Maybe offer a bonus at the end of the year for no complaints on cleanliness.

Purchase price: $145,000 Cash invested: $10,000 Sale price: $180,000 3/2.5 bath home with closed in sunroom, deck and bonus room.

If you know of their splits/services/whatever...bonus.  

A bonus to house hacking a single-family vs a multi-family is a lot of times there will be programs that can help you fund the downpayment.

Meaning the rent is 1- 2% ++  of the all in pricing, Also buying below the apprased value is another bonus . 

For term-based work (construction, renovations, additions, etc.) set completion dates, paid milestones, and if you can afford it, bonuses awarded for completing work ahead of schedule (with specific wording to make sure they complete work up to code, quality, etc.)3.)

I do expect to get at least another $5-7K for an annual bonus plus tax returns.I'm open to look at any investment property, but ideally I'd like to purchase a Cape Cod vacation rental.

You could also try to change the structure of the lease with a base rent plus bonus rent to landlord with annual sales over a certain gross number.Remember there is the location quality itself, the building design and quality of construction fit and finish, the parcel layout and parking ratios, any junior or large back anchors close by, the sightlines, the access, the traffic counts, and on , and on for valuation.

Ultimately, I'm considering the ROBS or distribution options to eject from the corporate world.If the cost segregation shows $100K of paper loss/bonus depreciation, etc., can I balance this loss against earned income of $100K from a 401K distribution? 

I could: a) open the wall between the master and 53 sq ft; b) make 53 sq ft a bathroom (much more money but could be worth it since there are none on 2nd floor); or c) l could leave it as a "bonus room".
