Should I pave (blacktop) my SFR BRRRR

[Christopher Madden]

I am finishing up my first BRRRR in an upper middle class home in a great school district. I have money in the budget to pave or blacktop a driveway for about $6,000. I already have equity in the property I will be around $135,000 all in and the ARV is $175,000 - $185,000 ish including the money to blacktop. I keep going back and forth on blacktopping, thinking things like will it help my appraisal, will I be able to get a better tennant? is it worth the cost? I figured id reach out to all you lovely people to hear your thoughts and opinions. thanks so much

What does the neighborhood and comps show? In both Colorado and Missouri I don’t see a lot of asphalt (blacktop) driveways. I have seen a few in more we’ll off areas but not your standard neighborhoods.
