It's much better to have laser focus on what you want to do and drown out the rest of the noise that are distractions to goals being achieved. 

Home staging, furnishing, included beach toys/boards, smart locks/lights/thermostat are a worthy investment and will push it into the high margin zone.

OP is a plasticizer  used in LVT in the past or for cheaper production and was banned in 2009 in all vinyl children's toys due to its link to autism.

Has anyone here toyed with tearing off the shingles, doing lap siding or board and batten siding in its place, and putting a pitched roof on the building? 

OTOH, if they did cash out refi's and bought toys and went on vacation, they may have a tax bill.

(This can be seen from as early as kindergarten, where I took all of the cokes from my parents refrigerator and went door to door in the apartment complex selling them, 1st grade when I sold all of my school supplies in class so that I could buy a toy that I wanted, and even in high school when, due to the fact that I couldn't afford a paintball gun that I really wanted, I build a paintball club signup notebook complete with maps and rank structure and handed it to one of the most popular kids in school to get people to sign up for a small fee, would have worked if my mom hadn't found the notebook at home and got a little suspicious to say the least.)  

Watch for partners with access to investor funds living above their means – buying fancy toys, taking extravagant vacations, holding lavish parties, etc.3.

., know you are in the market" so you might end up with a deal coming from one of any of a hundred people.Conversely, "track 2" seems like it's "get laser-focused with one agent and make sure that agent knows you will buy, so they bring things to you first and just always buy any deal that guy has that is reasonable." 

For starters, does everyone budget for things like going out every once in a while or should I just laser focus on paying off debt.

I hit submit too early lol.And I print them off of my laser jet printer from my home computer, after a mail merge onto card stock, and score them and stamp them myself.
