Hello, I am also located in Toronto and have around a decent sized portfolio in Cleveland.

The best amenities for Airbnb in terms of ROI often depend on your target audience and the location of your property.

Location, location, location.  

Dear All , I am located in Atlanta, GA .  

Number looks good enough to me but I just worry about the location tbh.  

I don't know enough about your rentals to determine quality, location, or layout, but I suspect my numbers are pretty close.However, your utilities are pretty expensive in the winter.

We attempted this in one location and were rejected as solar was a secondary use and they would not allow it to be a primary use because of NIMBY even though it has no impact on the area

That’s great advice Taz, I’m currently working on saving enough money to get started, house hacking is hard for me at the moment because I just bought a house 2 years ago, I would have to sell my house(which is in a great neighborhood great location) and use that money to fund the duplex which isn’t totally out of the question, I would like to keep the house if possible but also would like to get real estate investing more.

I have pulled a permit for removing a fireplace, but probably would not have but I had a significant remodel going with permits and did not want hassle of him making an issue of removing the fireplace (the inspection for fireplace removal consisted of only verifying gas cap was in visible location, he did not even spray it).

I also think of property locations and property conditions having different classifications.
