I'm committed to making strategic renovations to improve the home's structural integrity, safety features, and overall condition.

If you told him you have been playing pickup games for the past year and need help improving your jump shot, now he has evidence you're motivated and a specific goal he can quickly help you work towards.

In the middle of those two extremes might be a small business with 3 years left on their lease, but they've made improvements to the property that aren't cheap to remove, such as perhaps a dental office (dentists might be pissed that I put them in the mid-risk category, but all the dentists going out of business in 2020-2021 taught us that American consumers apparently regard dental care as an optional and "luxury" spending item). 

I've only been asked to provide it to lenders a handful of times, but I believe that to intentionally improve something you must measure and track it. 

Seasoning is just an industry term for waiting period to use the improved value to pull out cash. 

Most programs will say you have to wait at least 3 months up to 12 months before you can use the "improved" value to borrow against.  

Its a small home, not in need of any capital improvements, so I can assume it would bring in roughly $800 monthly after reserves.  

I'm excited for this improvement.

Tax deductible improvements such as drainage tile, terracing, irrigation can significantly improve the productivity and the value of the land.
