We added on a lower level master bedroom, walk-in closet and bath along with a laundry room.

I’ve certainly also wondered if there’sa way to group deals based off experience level to help with answering these kinds of questions...

The way to get started is to educate yourself on the business, the market and the costs associated with the business at all levels from marketing, acquisition, closing, rehab, carrying costs, closing etc.

From a high-level response, you need to buy low, get higher rents, or super low expenses (which can move on you!)

I doubt it will hit the level of a primary city level, but we could eventually reach the levels of Denver. 

And that's how the game of professional networking is played at the world-class level!

The SE license is a higher level than a PE license and those with an SE will likely charge you more.

When the 6 x 6 ft island was installed, it was not installed with the proper supports underneath so over time there is a downward slope to it too much to be fixed by using a leveling agent before installing the new flooring.

That's a very very specific and nuanced idea, and may not be a wise choice depending on your level of experience in real estate investing as a whole as well as short term rental or hotel experience.
