Ten Unit Building need reapir

[Bryan Dahn]

I have owned an apartment building with 10 one-bedroom, one-bath apartments for a number of years. It was not in great shape when I bought it and, to be honest, I have not done a good job of helping it out. Now it is about half occupied and I am struggling to get new renters. Property manager has one unit listed at below-market rent and have had no takers. The building looks run down. My question for you all is this - What can I do for the biggest bang for my buck to make the place look nicer? I am going to paint the doors this month. Any general suggestions for improving 1/1 apartments in middle range neighborhoods?
