What can I do to add value/increase rent?
Morning BP!!!
I posted this another part of the forum, but I thought it’d be more appropriate here.
Today I’m closing on my first duplex! Right now both units are vacant. The plan is to renovate unit one and get it rented. Once the first unit is rented, live in the second unit and renovate that one.
The duplex is 1500 with an 2/1 upstairs and 1/1 downstairs unit that has an unfinished basement, separate meters for all utilities, built in the 1920s and is structurally solid as far as our inspections could tell us.
So to my question. What would experienced investors recommend aa good value adds for the cost to #1 maximize rental income and #2 increase properties value in the eyes of an appraiser? Want to keep the property for long term, but maybe refinance and pull it some cash for another deal. Thoughts?
