Will paving both driveways add value to my rental ?
Hey Eveeryone !! I'm in Bridgeport Ct. I have a 2 family home with a driveway in the front of my house, and another driveway on the opposite street ( back of the house) my tenants use when they come and go . Both driveways have gravel and never has asphalt down
My question is Is it worth puting asphalt on both driveways? How much value can that add to my property ?
also can I write the entire project off on my taxes ?
Both driveways are about 11ft wide and 48 feet long . I was considering just the front driveway for the appeal it has at first sight .
feel free to chime in. I'm fairly new to investing. This is my first property .
