Just another few miles added on to my weekly odometer.But I made it just in time.

It all started with removing some interior walls and changing the floor plan, removing a chimney, adding a bedroom and bathroom, installing patio door to the backyard, and completely renovating every other interior element What was the outcome?

One option might be to explore adding air purifiers or filters directly into the system to help mitigate odors.

(Previous rent was $1,300 but we're about to put in a brand new kitchen from the studs, new flooring throughout the house, new furance, adding A/C, etc).So do we just pay for it all upfront and mostly drain all of our savings, or do I let the rent pay for it and utilize our other savings to get a second property this spring/summer to increase our cashflow?

My understanding is profit from lending is considered "taxable income" and is therefore added to your income and subject to your normal tax rate after all deductions, etc.

Fortunately it was a location with a PSF of ~$1.5k, so I added more than $100k of valuation (suspect I may not have quite achieved my $2 added for every $1 spent).But the bigger issue I see, if I add $200k of equity at hopefully a cost of no more than $100k it seems like maybe a good brrrr but what if it has expenses on a sustained hold that results in negative $1k/month?  

This included modernizing the kitchen with high-end appliances, upgrading bathrooms with spa-like features, and adding hardwood floors for a luxury feel Lessons learned?

However, with smaller investments, if bonus depreciation isn’t captured in the first year, a cost segregation study’s cost may outweigh the added benefit.

In the city or more urban neighborhoods though it's definitely more commonplace.I've added off street parking behind a property off an alley like you said at least a handful of times.
