Hey Sannibel, in my opinion I don't see the Airbnb industry improving.

These refi loans are based on the improved value, so I avoid the costs of initial financing and waiting a seasoning period before refinancing.

You cannot exchange into  improvements on property you already own without some very risky manuevers.  2.

It is the selling price (less. closing costs and fees) minus your purchase price along with capital improvements you made (new roof, bathroom, etc).You cap gain/profit will be less than the $28k difference.

At the time, our high rent weeks were $4000/wk. since then the house has appreciated 50% (with some improvements worth about $150k) and rents this year will max out at $7500/wk for high rent weeks.

Landlord shall not be obligated to clean, decorate, alter, repair, or otherwise improve the rental, either before or after the execution of this lease, unless agreed to in writing as part of this Agreement.

Increased rents by small improvements to the property.

If so, that would likely need to improve in order to qualify.

I will guess that by the time you get building permits and complete your improvements your cost will b no less than $250,000 and you lost one year of rental income and you will have to pay for utilities for a whole year and maybe run into many huge unexpected expenses.If you really want honest opinions then post all the realistic numbers for your plan.

I’m hoping to try to find someone who has expertise in dealing with properties that need to be raised per FEMA’s significant damage/improvement rule.
