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 !!!
