Once someone was approved I gave them my move out date and had to get it professionally cleaned and pest treated (per lease terms).

The tenant is now not sure on their move out date.

For example, I might put in new floors in my basement rental, add a washer dryer in each unit, and install other new cosmetic upgrades, which might get me 200 to 400 bucks more a month in rent (worth it here in jersey city) but my appraisal will probably not be significantly higher if I requested another.Now, if I legally added a bathroom or bedroom, put an addition on a house, converted a garage into livable space, ripped out all the outdated utility infrastructure or other improvement like that (things that inspectors and appraisers work with on their reports) this would definitely add value. but...it all does come down to comps. its a tricky game im still trying to figure out myself as someone prepping to flip/improve a rental for my next deal.Regarding cash flow increases, you could potentially rent out parking spaces or a garage if you have them available.

Hi Deisy, this might be outdated info for you now, if you already made a move on a property, but in 2019 I was looking up these links for info on buying a property myself in Tulum.

It sounds like you win 2x security deposit as soon as they didn’t refund your money in 21 days or at least give you written deductions…In California, a landlord may be held accountable for a penalty equal to twice the security deposit if it takes longer than 21 days from the move-out date to refund the security deposit.   

They are small, outdated, and relatively not that close to the beach and are usually converted apartment buildings.

This is guide a bit outdated, but much of it still appliesBasically its your pricing and guest rating as #1 factors

You'll also be dealing with individual move in/move out dates which means turns will most likely happen while the house is occupied with other guests.

It's a process, not reading an outdated book by someone who became successful in a completely different era.
