Cost efficiency while enhancing the design and functionality of the property What was the outcome?

Catherine id highly recommend spending a full day or two consuming youtube videos that specifically go into detail about this process, theres so much to teach and writing this whole thing out would literally be a whole book.

@Kitty Walker- As an investor, I've refinanced multiple Padsplits and co-living properties (where we go direct to tenant without Padsplit), and I generally agree with your last statement, with some caveats:- if the renovation is done well, the appraiser may not even say anything that would indicate it is an "abnormal" SFR (has happened multiple times with me)-the investor may be wise not to make the house crazy- just leave a nice open living room, put double doors on the dining room so it can function as a bedroom now but be easy to convert later, etc.  

Unfortunately many lenders will see this as a red flag and may not take the risk to lend you the rest of the money even if you use stated income program or bank statement program but those are for self employed borrowers who have active income from their business but write off to many expenses that when filling their taxes their net income is really low or sometimes negative.

Depreciation isn't an actual cash outflow [because we+the bank made the actual cash outflow at closing], but we get to write off the cost of the asset as an expense over time.Since cash flow doesn't equal net income, there are different scenarios that can happen. 1) Cash flow can be higher than net income. 

Is it some kind of foundation specialist to start with to at least know what it is and know if there is anything reasonable that can be done, a general contractor, or is this something I just write off as seasonal shifting of the foundation that happens with some? 

Did you write them yourself?

Buildium is a LTR platform that what looks to be recently added some STR functionality. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Write it down on paper and make it a goal that you'd like to find a house hack under a certain price point after being approved.
