Quote from @Rob Anteau: Quote from @Carolyn Fuller: My ratings & reviews improved substantially when I went from providing quality chocolate & fresh flowers to providing croissant from a local bakery.

You can google rental property <item> depreciation schedule for anything you’re improving. 

What would you do to improve it? 

And this doesn't even address the risks they take coming to this country, like the women and children that are sexually abused or trafficked, the men that are killed, the drugs that are hauled over, etc.2. 

We love that tourism revenue!

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

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

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. 

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

I would make improvements to the property only when doing so would cost less than the value added to the property.
