Long enough that 1) I'm interested in doing something new and 2) I'm maxed out in salary, which limits those willing to pay what I'm used to without my upgrading skill sets (most likely into coding or certifying in some type of administration).

Firewalls, sprinklers, and other such upgrades often make these types of additions untenable.

Did you upgrade it to a well/septic?

You estimate $12,000 in cosmetic updates in order to raise rent on top of additional upgrades and maintenance needed.
