Adding Value/forced appreciation to a Duplex in Bridgeport Ct
Hey everyone!!
I did it !! Pulled the trigger on my first deal!! Its very exciting and stressful at the same time . I can't wait to close lol
I'm buying a Duplex in the Black Rock Area of Bridgeport. House is in decent shape but can use some minor updating to add value/ Forced appreciation.
What should be my main focus when doing this? I dont wanna overspend if it won't add too much down the road. I figured :
Updating / restraining floors, appliances , fresh paint , installling recessed lighting, and possibly washer dryer hookup in each apartment.
How much value do you beleive I can add?
Please let me know your thought and opinions. If im missing anything please share.
Thanks !!!
