Remodeled a few rooms.

Hello, In 2018 I started a major remodel on a new sfh.

The rent is a bit higher than average as the house is completely remodeled. 

Two complete remodel and one partial all rented top dollar. 

I'm looking to buy my first property and house hack and ideally remodel a portion of the house to add value and pull the money I used to remodel back out after refinancing. 

He lived in one unit, remodeled it over three months, then moved into the next unit repeating the process until he had all four units remodeled and rented out.He purchase another home and now had cash flow from the 4plex.
