Cost Segregation is a commonly used strategic tax planning tool that allows companies and individuals who have constructed, purchased, expanded or remodeled any kind of real estate to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation deductions which can defer state and federal income taxes and increase cash flow.When a property is purchased, not only does it include a building structure, but it also includes all its interior and exterior components.

My W2 is affording me some extra time and I want to spend that time building my REI experience.I am a commercial lighting and interior designer and lighting controls expert. 

I used to be in marketing and my wife is an interior designer (freelance). 

I think I will focus more on airbnb and quality of the interior space with great amenities to maximize rental income.

I think the best you can do is add a few accent walls in the bedrooms and make it less neutral. we paint everything white in our new builds and very neutral as well as do higher end simple painted accent walls and trim walls to help make the house a little different. if you really want to sell I'd get a interior designer / stager and spend 5k with a way more experience agent who sells new builds. we are licensed if you can't find someone. the way I market is very different. 

We spent a total of just under 50k renovating the property, all new windows, interior including paint, flooring, updated plumbing, electrical, all completely renovated the interior including removal of popcorn ceilings, and all costmetic updates, cabinets, countertops, light fixtures.

you might have to basically take the entire interior down to the studs, perform mold remediation, reinsulate, new drywall, new wiring etc.  30k might not cover it.

I own a successful construction company that mainly focuses on kitchens, bathrooms and interior remodels and have been in business for over 4 years.

We installed an interior French drain system in the basement, because we knew that the neighborhood is prone to water intrusion.
