The contractor and dumpster were my largest expense.

California certainly doesn't make some things easy but it is amazing the number of people will say "I will never buy in CA" or "will never do business in CA" when it is the 4th largest economy in the world as you said.  

I've posted about preventing gaps on my mid term airbnb but am wondering with changing Airbnb host functionality, if anyone has good suggestions. 

Speaking with one of our attorneys she mentioned the largest area of defaults she has seen is in SS space as it got over saturated in some markets and rent appreciation has not been as advertised.

What is in it for you is not just the bump in monthly rent but also a boost in overall property value, since a larger, more functional lower unit makes the home more versatile to buyers down the road.

Decks usually aren’t my favorite because of their maintenance costs, but in this case it created great outdoor living space that made the home much more enjoyable and functional.

If you still like the deal with those conservative numbers, then any extra function from the converted room is just a bonus for tenants or end buyers.

This isn't the largest part of the return, which is the increase in equity: loan amortization + capital appreciation.

It is more customized in function than a spreadsheet.
