I've made some improvements to the house since I've bought it.

The only building that exponentially increased my work load was my 8 unit which is my largest and we did some significant improvements to it the first year I owned it.

In my opinion this area is priced low and after improvements values will go up.  

These spots have been getting more attention from investors and can offer solid cash flow while still being in communities that are seeing improvements.

Additionally, it can help maximize renovations and improvements.38.36% of the total depreciable basis was classified as 5-year class life.

Hurricane Milton delayed things, but even when the weather improved, her communication stopped entirely.

You'll probably pay fees and it'll be tougher to find a bank that would be willing to pull cash out for reasons other than direct improvements to the property. 

I benefitted from rent inflation, but I also did some things that would help improve net cash flow (appealing property taxes, for example).Happy to send you some resources with more details on how I accomplished it.

Have someone who doesn't live in the home walk through and itemize the things that need to be fixed or improved.

I would only hire out for major work I can't do myself or emergency repairs.I've dealt with older houses before and the house may be fine for occupants but there's still usually lots of things that can be fixed / improved so it seems a house that isn't perfect would give more opportunities for ongoing maintenance of this sort.To me it seems fairly straightforward to meet the time requirements but I think I need to have extensive documentation?
