What are your thoughts on doing home remodels for your personal property without having a specific "move out" date?

We've decided to take our aesthetic to Dallas, for several reasons both business and personal but we're excited for this next chapter of building.Outside of real estate, we like to take our dogs to the beach/park, try new foods and sharpen our RE skills.

I might be tempted to walk my butt into the owner's office -- does that LOOK like a place the owner spends 70 hours a week (lots of personal items on the walls?

Personally, I believe there are great investment opportunities here.

Personally I think it would be foolish to just invest trying to get tax write-offs as the primary benefit of your portfolio.
