The labor force is already down ~7 million (of 160 million total) workers due to extra early retirees, millions extra on disability, extra deaths, and no immigration for 1-2 years; so, companies have already taken unintended layoffs of 5%. 

So while $50k goes into the bank account, the tax "LOSS" is $230k.This is how real estate owners, investors, operators, and developers make millions a year and pay $0 in taxes.

Trying to get a VERY BALLPARK idea of what I would expect a per-square-foot gut interior renovation to cost an investor in San Francisco.By ballpark, I mean I'd be happy with a $50/sf range ($125-175/sf, for example) or even just a high-end number (up to $200/sf, for example).By gut renovation, I mean gutting down to the studs and replacing all electrical, plumbing, HVAC, sheetrock and then all mid-level cosmetic finishes (oak hardwood, standard granite, basic fixtures, etc).Ignore exterior costs since I know those are a lot more variable.I realize that there are still a million variables, but I'm just trying to determine if a conservative number is $100/sf, $150/sf, $200/sf, $250K, etc...Thanks!

Hello Cesar;Puerto Vallarta is an excellent option to invest in real estate.Being a favorite resort destination in North America over two million people visit this beautiful city every year.Like in any other real estate option, location is very important.

They will tell you a million reasons why you will fail but don't listen to them.  

If someone were to get say 8-10 of these home in a condensed area, Rehab them to slightly above the local market, no million dollar homes but nice shrubs out front and mid-ranged interiors, do you think that that would bring the market of that street up above the surrounding area or that it would end up reverting back to the way it was before?

San Francisco slapped Airbnb with back taxes in the amount of 85 Million. 

But there are many areas where you’ll have half million dollar homes that are a block over from homes that is essentially worthless (except for the lot) and need bulldozed. 

I just killed a multi-million dollar apartment deal because the investor who was helping to close the final $200k gap wanted way too much for his investment.

So my dilemma is making best decision with this home.Homes nearby and being built nearby are in $500 to million dollar range and I am somewhat in a moral inner battle.1.
