Here are some highlights that are less well knownCurrent portfolio DSCRVertically integrated property / construction management?

High-quality finishes and construction can increase the ROI. 

Also if you are under construction and your insulation is out then that may contribute to the heat.  

This is unrelated to your zoning discussion , but if you don't mind a slight tangent, could you please expand on why an LLC would be easier to get construction loan?

You could get new construction with your VA loan and when you move on in a year or so, have a virtually brand new home that will be very little upkeep to maintain when you put tenants in there and typically, you will get higher rents in a newer construction home. 

I will post the before and after pictures, hopefully it can help anyone starting this journey, we are new investing out of state but NOT new to handlining construction project out of state for clients, looking forward to the challenge!!!!

It was not a newly constructed fence to increase the value of the property; rather, it was a replacement for an old, damaged fence due to nature disaster. 

For newly constructed, purchased or renovated properties and also retroactive generally over the last 10 years, building components are properly classified into individual units of property and accurate recovery periods for computing depreciation deductions.

Whether that means a "cash out refi" assuming you can get rates that work, or a 1031, get your money working for you.I work with many investors that are looking to use a 1031 to move an older depreciated property into a New Construction investment property that will work well for Cashflow, Appreciation, and will give them great tax benefits with the reset depreciation.Feel free to connect if you have more questions.

If you can run a successful arbitrage business you can make a lot of money, and if you hedge your bets and put that money back into owning more assets then why not?
