If you want to capture additional short-term gains... probably best to just stay the course you are on. 

(Quickbook’s little brother.)It’s very much overkill of what you’re trying to do but it’s super simple, downloads all your bank and credit card transactions, and only costs $50/year. 

I am in debt with mostly good debt, a little bit of credit card debt.

I've done 5 flips solo and 2 additional with partners.

Additionally, I would be surprised if any lender would approve this set up.

The seller has to trust you will all his money, credit and much more - usually these deals are better with relatives or good friends2.

We always try to remove them where the additional light from outside or ventilation isnt needed, when needed, we have replaced with glass block or nicer unit we built custom non functioning window out of pvc. 

I am looking at adding commercial industrial and additional residential to my portfolio we buy and hold.

These two factors were strong indications that we would gain additional equity, and maybe even increase our net worth.While it might be tempting to think that there is no way a house with an extra mother-in-law suite will be less valuable than a house with parking, it is worth making sure that you will have adequate equity when the project is done, and that you are not overbuilding the house.

A buyer usually prefers new appliances included because they are getting rolled into their 30 year long term financing and even at current rates that is a lot cheaper than buying them later on a credit card.
