@Cole Bossert I think @Sarah Kensinger and others have touched on the biggest qualities, especially communication.

So if conventional primary residence rates are that high, par rates on investment properties are generally higher. 

If it is a high end housing product you may have to use a designer because they have access to some material/finish suppliers that are otherwise unavailable but that tends to only be for the highest end housing deliveries.

I set my rent standards a little high and realized that rent is actually not that high.. we have a morgage on it and it looks like the house is selling for more than we originally paid 4 years ago.

And the laws and regulations here are very different, not very strict like the states.Prices are high and rents are low over here.

@Darrius LloydTo start your house hacking journey, research neighborhoods with potential for multifamily properties and balance affordability with tenant quality.

If you’re below $275K, focus on high-impact upgrades like improving curb appeal (landscaping, fresh paint), refreshing the kitchen and bathrooms (new hardware, lighting), or adding energy-efficient features (smart thermostats, LED lighting).

Many would downsize if not for high mortgage rates, making it crucial to introduce incentives.

Coffered ceilings, low corner additions etc.Anyone can slap lipstick on a pig, looking for high value add in high demand markets is where the $ is.
