Increase profit and maximize tax savings

Using the capital I made from those closing invested in larger yellow letter campaigns, and incrementally increase my budget from there. 

I moved from downtown Toronto in 2012 because I saw the soaring RE prices and the cost of living increases.

Is there anything else I should consider when assessing this increased risk?

I own a SFH in Los Angeles and am thinking of making some upgrades-1) opening up a retaining wall that leads into the backyard and install a sliding glass door2) adding a 10x12 wood floating deckMy questions are:1) How would I calculate the increase in value for these upgrades?

You include us in your rehab projects, we make sure the value of the house you flip goes considerably up ? 

Because he has all properties paid off it is important that you take into consideration the opportunity value of that dead equity. 

But I would be circumspect about how I requested the records (need them for personal research project), how the information appeared when disseminated (all indications that it came from the State would be removed), and how I phrased my interactions with property owner's who were identified through use of public records (I'd never mention that the owner's identity or address was obtained from the State or County, only that obtained the information legally at considerable cost).

I find it easier to put out rent increases for each person rather than trying to raise the whole rent for the house.

Can rents be increased?
