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.   

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

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.   

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.

Most fields to become world class at something take 5 to 10 years of consistent work and improvement on a daily basis.Today about 21 years in with commercial real estate I have tons of business and also properties I can purchase.

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.

Success often comes from picking properties with strong chances for rent income or those that can be improved in value.

How much have you over-improved the property?
