Rental Consultant for First Property

[Andrew Katz]

I just purchased my first property (Owner occupied duplex). I'm living here for the next 1.5-2 years, and then I will either rent it our or sell it (depending on the market). I'd like to make updates to my unit while I live here, but I want to make sure that the updates aren't too fancy for the neighborhood or won't decrease the home value. When I think about possible updates, I'm not sure what direction I should go. Examples:

• Worn hardwood floors: Do I sand and refinish or replace with wood laminate?
  Washer/Dryer: Currently they in reside in basement and shared with upstairs unit. I need to go outside to the basement which is a pain in Wisconsin winter. Do I add a W/D to each unit?
  2 Prong outlets: Do I keep as is? Or convert them to 3 prong outlets?
• Sliding French Doors: There non-working french doors 

Question: Are there people I can hire to consultant and walk through my unit for an hour and give me advice? What are these professionals called?
