Good luck on the renovations, sounds like you’re going to be able to add a lot of value.

Sounds like you're doing, so that's great. 

This home sounds like a natural fit for a rent by room concept or PadSplit! 

Occupancy is down slightly from the last two years as the Covid effect has worn off, but average nightly rates are up. 

Sounds more like a question for a CPA group where you can share new ideas but most people here have limited experience even in real estate.

Probably not the greatest idea.Other house put 12"x12" (cut to fit) granite tiles on top of old tiles, they now have a good slope so water does not sit below window.Both are just band aides, if you gut it then just pull window out, glass blocks sounds good too.

Sounds like a hard money loan maybe.

I'm exploring options and this seems like a good way for me to purchase the next deal but I'm treading lightly as using unsecure loans sounds pretty risky and of course I need to consider ALL things including their terms, market conditions, capital on hand (about 30k to invest) and my strategy which is to BRRR. 

Sounds like we are using the same PM firm.

Connecting with local meetups or landlords sounds like a great idea to get started.
