I'm paying well over 70k/year vs hiring someone would cost much less. 

Doing it myself took to long and holding costs/time probably cost me more. 2.

takes me out of contention with a lot of properties.Are most owners absorbing part of the cleaner's cost to remain competitive during down-rate periods?

The cost of the loan is so expensive that there is no room for much of a profit.

I'm putting solar panels on a new 4 plex build so I can pay all utilities under a single payment and make life easier for everybody as it is a medium term to short term rental.

I will receive about 110k after costs and paying off some debt with the loan.

If a Cost Segregation Study had not been performed on this $595,685 single family home located in Miami, FL, it would have had first year depreciation of approximately $22,000.

My purchase price was over 20 years ago, I do not remember closing costs, have refinanced twice at least and I have been renting it for almost as long. 

That seems to be the opposite of what everyone is telling me here.I will have very little capital gain after deducting my points and closing costs on this home that I purchased less than one year ago.  

How will taking away the garage take effect to the value vs another room ?
