Any capital improvements on a not owned yet property would involve a complex 1031 you’d want someone like @Dave Foster involved in. 

Personally If you like your current residence and hope to stay there long term I would forgo major improvements on my primary and use all investment savings to make you more money and cash flow. 

Offering discounts for weekday or longer stays could also help improve occupancy.

Sure, I could look for a higher paying job, but I was wondering if anyone has any creative short-term methods to improve my ratio.

He knows his stuff and is really good at making IG videos: his brand is a very clever mix of being super humble, telling everyone profits are less than you think and then flashing some fat $$ he made by selling to his investors.

Is there enough fat on the deal.  

This reminds me of the story of a wall-street banker convincing a fisherman who already has time for his friends / family to instead scale his fisherman business(get employees, integrate, then sell the business) all of which will lead him to be able to spend time with his friends and family.It already sounds like you have a great life - spending time wth family and in great health.Having additional money doesn't sounds like it would improve your life that much.

I view it as a tool in a toolbox to help you "trim the fat" off the bottom of your portfolio, so you can keep growing with new acquisitions. 

They they get a big fat default judgement against you. 

@Joshua Christensen wouldn't expenses naturally be less if the seller's just spent about $75,000k on cap ex improvements?
