I currently have a 0% ten year loan for upgraded heat.If you have gas on the street, you should be able to get the utility company to bring a line to your house for free if you use enough BTUs.

In my experience the master shutoff is outside of breaker panel anyways when it's been upgraded.

All cosmetic upgrades.

If you need to upgrade foundation/studs not to mention running new electrical, water, mechanicals those costs will far exceed the value of the existing garage shell. 

Also, I re-ran the numbers with a 10k reno and total rents received (after paying utilities) at $800 (which I've had a realtor, lender, and local inspector/contractor confirm are market rents for the area with the upgrades) and I came up with a 22% CoC return.

A few strategies that work in high cost of living markets 1) Layout changes - I have converted 1 bedrooms to 2bedrooms, studios to 1 bedrooms and simply by doing that I increase the rents significantly and now the property can be cash out refinanced. 2) Adding ADU's, preferably attached ADU's (basements, garage etc)3) Cash for keys + Renovations - washer dryer in units, and upgrade unit (combine this with other 2 strategies, above and you've doubled your equity)

Doing some electrical and plumbing upgrades in the next 2 weeks to get it safe and in good working condition.

I'm upgrading soon regardless because I want unlimited access to BPInsights, among other things, but I know from listening to the podcast that there have been promos in the past. 

You could upgrade that circuit to a 20amp breaker but your wiring probably isn’t thick enough to carry the extra power without fire risk.
