Just 100 in total.

I love the "what would you go back and change" question becuase of course everything we go through has purpose to who we are now, but in general when i reflect back on what I could change or tweak it would be that I woudl trust less in the "system" of getting a good engineering job, and relying on promotions etc to make income jumps,  I did a lot of free work as a salaried engineer, and made the companies I worked for huges sums of money on an annual basis from cost savings, and I never saw a lick of that.

I am also up about $1m above purchase and rehab costs.i use total return to determine the quality of an RE purchase.  

My property will have 5 units total once we finish converting our garage to an ADU -- we just finished building a 2-unit ADU structure that's all new construction, and the property already had an existing duplex.

Besides making sure not to buy a property that requires so much renovation, I do think I need help in the renovation besides relying on the general contractor. 

In your case, 2 days at Property A and 3 at Property B—you’d typically split expenses as follows:Mileage ($700 total): Allocate by days—2/5 to Property A ($280) and 3/5 to Property B ($420), unless there's a more precise method based on actual distances.Hotel ($300): Deduct 100% to Property A, since the lodging was only used while working there.Meals (per diem or actual): Split by day—2/5 to A, 3/5 to B.For tax reporting, each portion of the expense is deducted on Schedule E, under the specific property that incurred the cost.

Cleaning: You'll need to figure out a local cleaner you can rely on -- this will be critical to making the whole thing run smoothly.

Can get above 1.5% but probably not in areas I would recommend being out of state having to rely on third party management.
