Has anyone ever done an analysis to determine if it is financially beneficial to pay off an LID (Local Improvement District) assessment early? 

Other than that, keep everyone on month to month, written leases.Fix anything that is an urgent need, but don't improve the property until it comes time to renew and you can raise rents to market.

I have owner-occupied a number of houses, and have improved them as we go, and sold later. 

How much tenant improvements needed, free rent, attorney legal fees, tenant broker leasing commissions paid, etc. ? 

When you are passionate about something all things are possible and you find the needed energy (well, most days anyway ha ha).

Marketing and more money with a strategic growth plan that has efficient and lean operations in place.

Just bought my first property and I plan to do a house hack while doing some improvements on the property.

Love the refinancing twist to improve your returns even further.

So we bought a fixer, improved it, moved and instead of selling, we rented the last one out, and by this slower method we collected rental doors.  

Plus my father who is 51 would have the added benefit of having these two properties paid off by the time he's in his mid 60's, probably about the time he will be retiring.My Father is basically my "Private Investor" so to speak because he has cash and I have more time and energy to put into the ins and outs of finding deals and dealing with tenants.
