I would make sure that the exit cap rate is not lower than the purchasing cap rate as this can artificially boost the projected returns.  

In the end, if your deal is profitable with conservative assumptions, then you should be insulated from any market influences. 

Option 1 will cost more upfront, but be easier to mitigate month to month and boost cash flow and have more breathing room with monthly expenses. 

I'm looking for not so obvious tips, sort of like:how a certain neighborhood would have provided major tax breaks but you bought property 2 houses away outside its dividing linefinding out that STRs would have yielded better income where you investedbuying a certain design of a house (whether that's describing its foundation, exterior, interior, etc.) was a bad ideapolitics and local government influenced your returnsand so forth.

And sometimes even it can boost your ROI which is fun but decrease your NOI to a point where you're at risk of being under capitalized.The other point to consider is that when you refi you will not have access to as much buying power as if you simply sold and 1031d. 

ARV with rents to market rate would boost that number to 1.3M.

Even when running the numbers on a home where I could boost the value with a renovation, it still seems to cashflow negative, or at the very best break even.

The other thing is TRUMP because his decisions influence what people do there is no exact answer it goes by your market and what you can obtain from it.

I definitely like the idea of renting out the main and living in the smaller unit created to boost income.

These efforts boosted the property's value, leading to a successful sale at $305,000.
