Post: Standing shower or tub for rental

I'm currently working on a rehab project, and the existing layout isn’t functional. We're considering removing the current tub and installing a standing shower in the rental unit. However, I'm concerned that this change might limit our rental pool. This unit is the largest, with three bedrooms. Has anyone gone through a similar situation? What decisions did you make?

Hi, I’m looking to connect with an investor-friendly architect. I'm considering some mixed-use properties in the 19144 zip code, which is zoned CMX2.5. The buildings I’m looking at are shells, and I plan to convert them into fully residential units with no commercial spaces. If you’re familiar with the area and are interested in connecting, I would love to chat.

I hope all is well!

Would you be interested in funding a BRRR for a property in Albany, NY my team at GSS Development Group currently has under contract?

We’re looking for investors to lendmoney at a 15% annual interest rate, paid at the end of the project (roughly 6 months).

This loan will be backed by a promissory note and a mortgage security document.

  • Total Project Costs (Rehab + Purchase): $150,000
  • ARV: $250,000
  • Return: 15% Annual Return
  • Project Timeline: 12 Month Max Term, with the option to repay sooner
  • Refinancing 75-80% of ARV
  • Lender take first position lien
  • Minimum Investment: $30,000

(Really looking for one group or investor)

As an example of our track record with our flips, we recently completed the sale of this flip. We purchased it for $406,000 and successfully sold it at $625,000, easily paying back our private money lenders on this deal.
Private lenders or group no hard money!


 Why the aversion to hard money?  Depending on experience, my firm can get this done for a lower interest rate than 15%.

Not interested thanks.
