I would like to continue using my excavation company and network of contractors as a vessel to push deeper into this realestate thing.

We're letting them come at us from all angles (phone, text, email, portal) but... it is 2025 and we do push the portal pretty hard. 

., I look at worst case of what would it cost to roll-back all changes and add that in. 

Many homes are pushing 100 years old.

Additionally, while rates aren't historically bad right now, they are higher than 4-5 years ago, and they will be even higher for you as an investor than they were as an owner occupant, which is what you were when you bought originally.I get that you are anxious to add to your portfolio, but that could be achieved without touching your first golden goose.Sometimes on BP, the push is to leverage every last spare penny, but that can be a risky game as the markets shift. 

I was able to rent the garage to a seasoned electrician running his business through there only coming in and out to stock his truck once per day.I hope to be able to convert the second floor into an ADU as soon as Feb 2nd rolls around.

---Start of Text----"""POWER OF FLIPPING Case Study with $50,000We see that the $50,000 investment made a $41,125 gain the first year in business, turning $50,000 into $91,125, which you roll into the next flip.

Also tweaking your pricing on VRBO and Airbnb so you are active and it pushes you higher in the search results.Tweaking the price that gets pushed to these platforms works as well.

I don't think it will continue to appreciate at that rate forever or honestly past the next few years but right now where prices are in relation to the median housing price of the surrounding market, the need for affordable housing/rents, etc, many people are continuing to flock to the our investment area which is continuing to push the prices of the properties in Chester up closer to the median housing price of the greater area.In regards to inflation, I don't think the inherent value has risen only the demand for the product itself.

The ADU is a good idea for property maximization, but unless it has a separate driveway, it will push your rent in the main house down some because then you aren't renting a single-family house on a lot by itself.
