Photo quality is important to drive traffic, and staging can improve photos and prospect appreciation during tours. 

I’d love to get feedback from anyone who has been through a similar process, as I’ve received some conflicting information.Here’s the situation:- My lender mentioned that even though my loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is below 80% due to the renovations (currently at 73%), I can’t request PMI termination based on the property improvements alone, since the renovations were part of the initial HomeStyle loan.

Another thing to do is to take that extra cash flow and put it into cap ex that improves the value of the property.

My credit is poor right now but can easily be improved as my income is much better lately. 

Lots of ways to improve the situation.   

I did see it and scheduled the sprinkler installation but heard they are now requiring additional improvements that weren't originally discussed like multiple egresses, changes to pool room doors etc.   

We bought it for $425k 5 years ago, did a number of improvements and more than doubled the NOI in about 3 years.

So basically, had the 1hr strategy with them I have 3 units and they explained that they provide education and coaching to teach people how to increase their revenue ever month, in addition to improving their processes effectively automating their short-term rental business.

I am optimistic that things might improve with this change, but I would not pay again just to find out.

Since you and your wife have renovation skills, targeting properties that need minor improvements can maximize your return on investment while minimizing the time and cost associated with major renovations.
