We were opposed to cash out refi's until just recently and with the rates so low, we are now using that strategy to hold on to what we have, make some modest improvements and continue to grow. 

Your yield and balance are going to improve and you might have money to fix the place up.

This year I bought my first investment condo downtown Vancouver which I did some some improvements on and  put up on Airbnb. 

. - each unit is over occupied; one 2 bedroom has 8 occupants with beds in living room etc. lots of poor tenant improvements… extension cords coming out of windows, sheets on windows, etc-fairly nice area- property was mismanaged and is quite sloppy.

They are a growing tech company and I suspect they will continue to improve.

Hi guys hope these tips can positively help improve the quality of your property to get rented faster.https://www.payrent.com/articl...

I know in general that RV parks allow depreciation on land improvements, but exclude land which can be a good chunk of money.

Terms can vary from 1yr I/O to 30yr fixed, some will allot funds to complete restoration/ home improvements. 

I had a painting crew come who said it was because of moisture from poor ventilation in the attic. 

That attic must have had great ventilation; heat and dampness tends to break down the covering over the wire.
