Besides potential improvements that can be made to increase the income, I'm concerned about additional expenses will I'm sure no doubt will arise once I visit the properties/ am provided the actual financial sheets on the properties.

I have a sfh home with a detached garage at the rear of the property, the property is a corner lot with an alley behind the garage so there is access from both sides of garage.

Depends on access.....likely will need a tow behind concrete pump to get it in place.

I already have access to a venue.

We're currently focusing on the San Francisco Bay Area market.If you’ve used other corporate housing services, what doesn’t work in your experience or could be improved?

When could get access to do that?'

It's a given that it would cost more than the same trip via a ground car, even if ground transportation doesn't gain its own improvements (which it will - autonomous networked vehicles will make the ground trip safer, faster, and cheaper than present ground transit, and that is *much* closer to a broad implementation than air taxis). 

The common area things they provide and their looks of the entryway provided will also help you know what to look for when purchasing.It's location is very important as well as its access. 

Pad your reserves with the cash flow.The liquid side account absorbs month to month fluctuations (extended vacancies, major repairs, etc. they WILL happen) and keeps you alive until you can find other options, or until conditions improve.

If you did that you would avoid all tax on the $566K ish gain (plus you would avoid the three years of depreciation recapture which would be close to $100K - or another $25K of tax).Hand grenade math tells me that unless there were huge capital improvements you're looking at a minimum of $100K tax bill.
