I’ve done research and found out that things like paying off credit cards and paying rent on time can boost it.

It's an ok deal, and ok deals can become good deals when you factor in education.My first property is my worst performer.

This is achieved by first having a cost segregation study performed.

As far as I can tell, the bank's appraiser will want to see before and after pictures that show that quality work was performed, but does that mean reviewing permits?  

Best, ChrisChris, my recommendation is to perform your entire due diligence the same way regardless if SF is available or not.

To date, that property is one of my best performing ones.  

This is even more crucial in the short term rental space as income and performance can vary wildly between property managers.

You have to read the ordnance, but typically there is a ‘permitted use’ which is the zoning class, then there are ‘prohibited uses,’ and in between there may be some combination of ‘’conditional uses’ or ‘performance standards’ where you can potentially use it for another authorized purpose.

It really depends on the tenant and can they be trusted to perform this work.
