What upgrades to make when acquiring a rental property?
Hello all, basically I am in the market to acquire a 2 family property. I will use a VA Loan to live in 1 apartment and rent the other. What upgrades should be made to the property to get it rent ready or increase the value in the property or rent itself.

You don't own a lot of properties but what I found that seems to have the most influence is nice floors and fresh paint.
