Can adding a bedroom and bathroom without increasing the square footage of the home still increase its value?

From 2024 they have increased the price to 20k for 2 yrs of access.One this that surprises me is that when you are sing the FSysytem yo are a ser of the system don't have access or know anyone who are using the program so you can network.  

Also one other question, if we do a bunch of improvements to the property…(because we are buying with some deferred maintenance so there is room for a 3x value increase) could we theoretically buy it from ourselves (such as our business buys it from us personally) could we get the step up in new depreciation value?

So, there is nothing wrong with your thinking.Buying power in your area should continue to increase as military, civilians, and contractors have been getting decent to very good annual increases. 

While such disparities can be due to a variety of causes, residents in these cities had economic tailwinds to help them through recent cost of living increases.To see where income increased most, SmartAsset examined Census Bureau data for 124 of the largest cities in the country and ranked them by the size of income changes between 2019 and 2021.

I know that the city has been consistently growing without missing a beat in past 30 years, vacancy rate is 3%, rent price was increasing in past 20 years, unemployment is consistently low at 3-5% at past 20 years and so on. 

Since as inventory of rental options decrease, the demand for those that effectively operate as AirBnB's should theoretically increase. 

@Jon Crosby this is a great, simple tool.Mike

My Strategy:- Buy with primary goal of renting in the future- Live-in flip for the first 1-2 years to build equity and increase potential rental price Exit Options:- Refinance and rent the property, using equity and savings to buy again, move in, and repeat- Pull equity that built due to small renovations done over 1-2 years and purchase another property w/ intent to rent, staying in this first one- Sell/1031 (thanks to forced appreciation from reno)Will this work regardless of the asset being a townhome or SFH, or am I missing something?
