.: Quote from @Krista Lance: Hi all - I have a new-modern day question regarding this: What about if I want to manage a "medium-term" rental (i.e. 30 days or more).

With $65,000 invested in strategic renovations, we transformed the home by modernizing key areas and enhancing its curb appeal.

Because of that success, and the tourism of Santa Fe, I'm assuming a STR will likely out preform a LTR with modern amenities, design, etc in place.  

Upgrading countertops to granite or quartz, installing high-end appliances, modern cabinetry, and stylish fixtures can significantly raise ARV.

Spend what’s needed to upgrade with reliable mechanical systems, roof that doesn’t leak, remediate all mold; interior design modernized; in other words a place that will attract a higher income no hassle tenant.  

The key difference, though, was he spent months carefully getting to know the local architecs, reputable builders, and even a couple of niche design firms that specialize in modern builds for mid- to high-end buyers.

From my experience, security has been good, there’s plenty of space around the pools and clubhouse area too, so it’s never loud or crowded, and the HOA appears to also cater to a broader more modern and contemporary audience, to include its Canadian, Brazilian and European guests and investors.

We added value by investing $45,000 in well-planned renovations, modernizing key areas, enhancing curb appeal, and ensuring market-ready quality.
