The cost per unit is actually below average for Reno and maybe bit high for that location. 

As in every case the area, cost, amenities play into scenario.Have never been above 30% in last 12 years, usually at 10%

I'm looking to deduct HELOC interest for costs related to making improvements on a primary home that is also used as a rental.

Im assuming it would be up to the sheriff in ur area to remove immediately or will tell u to write a 10 day notice letter stating to leave or sheriff will remove and up to 90 days in jail and fines and court costs.

My deductible is high, around $4,200.I'm confused about whether I should try to keep the costs under budget and avoid using my insurance.

If I proceed with adding one unit, around 1500 sqft, the construction and approval costs may amount to approximately $450K, which would bring the total property value to around $1.35 million.Given that some three-unit properties in Canton have sold for less than $1 million in the last two years, I'm uncertain whether adding this one unit and renting it out would be a wise investment.My questions are:Is adding a single unit worth the investment considering the current market trends in Canton, MA?

To save money on closing costs and interest.

Be good with your numbers, those are: ARV (based on comps), repair costs and MAO which will allow you to squeeze in your cut in the assignment of the contract.
