I think there is greater value in more doors though, so findings something like a 2-4 unit property, where you will live in one unit and rent out the remaining units likely would allow you to live cheaper as their is more opportunity to increase cash flow.

I was tending to make decisions based on how much “net income” was produced rather than increases in my wealth, or estate value.  

So those saying prices are increasing, it must be their specific market for these types of assets as nationally this is not the case.2.

If you don't live in the property and continue to rent you may increase your income but your expenses are also higher, even if its a net positive.

How do you know if you'll be legally allowed to convert a detached garage into living space or create any other type of square footage increase: attached garage conversion, basement or attic conversion, ADU, etc.

We used Stessa for the flips last year, but as I've increased the number of flips, tying expenses to the appropriate project has become a bear and I'm wondering what others do.

I am self employed contractor and have half the year off to do renovations over the next few years.

As an example, if you were to increase it up to 60 reviews in the past 12 months, then you would be left on the map with a small number of listings, all of them with a high number of bookings throughout the year.This number is a parameter in the model that users can adjust at any time.

You could also convert your 401k to a self-directed IRA to invest those funds in additional rentals.You'll need to discuss more about doing all this with the proper professionals, but it is an option.
