They informed me on the day that their new lease was due to be signed and returned to me (7/1).

2) Provide a signed and dated letter from your CPA (on company letterhead) conforming that you don’t file tax returns for your single member LLC

That's a killer return!

This will vary with markets but kitchen, bathroom, and landscaping (curb appeal) have the highest returns.

Not sure if I want to hang my license with a flat fee company to have access to the MLS and maximize return in investements.

Or, if you're happy to stay living there, but want as much immediately accessible cash in your pocket as a Lender would approve, you'd need to make sure your newly acquired investor mindset was in full bargain hunting / return-on-investment mode, because, your monthly repayments will increase significantly once you withdraw the maximum against a HELOC!

Also, they will have taken their rental return into account, which carries on!
