Delmas Edwards I believe new cabinet hardware is a cheap upgrade that improves how a property shows and reduces wear and tear on cabinetry if no hardware exists.

@John D.As I understand, Palm Desert grandfathered some but basically ended short term rentals, seems like this would reduce inventory?

Can you refi them to either reduce your payments or pull cash out to build your reserves and buy more rentals?

Over that we strap the wall/ceiling with resilient channel - the resilient channel both provides better hold for the sheet rock in the event of a fire {i.e. ceiling stays up longer} and, by suspending the drywall off the floor joist reduces the low frequency sounds/vibrations from the floor above {i.e. running little kids or pets}.  

The 9-month and annual leases bring with them a reduced rent-rate.  

Couple of cell phone pics later, out they went.You do reduce your potential tenant pool, especially on the lower economic end of the spectrum.

If compounded fast and high enough, my goal is to be able to take cash out yearly and never reduce the account balance. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/49/topics/465957-why-you-should-become-a-hard-money-lender

If you add an ADU you will have reduced your potential pool of buyers to just those who want to be landlords AND live next to their tenants, or to those who need a "mother- in-law" apartment.

If your MAGI is $150K or higher, then it does not matter how much extra depreciation a cost segregation study can give you, your rental property activity losses won't reduce your tax bill because the net passive loss allowance is no longer available to you.

I definatly recommend going no smoking, no pets if you want to both improve the quality of tenants as well as reduce the cost to maintain your units in rent ready condition at turnover.It does eliminate some from the tenant pool but keep in mind that is the whole purpose of screening to end up with the best possible tenants.
