Why buy a fourplex, when just slotting yourself into 5+ units drops the cost per square foot by at least $100?  

And this is all stainless steel appliances.I would look around the area for what is offered as far as comparable to what you have.

Here is what I have so far: Add wash and dryer unitsStainless steel appliancesUpdate light fixturesNew hardware for bathroom (cabinet, sink, shower)New hardware for kitchen (cabinets, sink)Build a fence around ground floor patio Build carportsRUBs programCharge for garbage pick-upAmenities based on demographic (soccer field, BBQ pit, etc.)Adding an extra roomFor other multifamily investors out there, what are some ways you've added value to an apartment to raise rents?

In addition to education, the steel industry has played a large part in the economy, and the downtown skyline is comprised of the Wells Fargo Tower, Federal Building, AT&T City Center and many others.

@Craig Bellot   I found a property in East End near Steel Point.  

Not an expert myself, but I've heard that mice will chew through the foam, and it helps to have some sort of steel wool stuffed in first.I'm hoping the exterminator figured out the best/safest solutions for a rental property I own in Chicago, as well.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/419...

We used both steel wool and replaced some trim with trex.  

I agree with everyone else about including appliances but would also add that you can get some great used stainless steel appliances off Craiglist.

The house is between C / D but has a lot of updated features (42" wood cabinets, tile/wood throughout, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, wrought iron mechanical fence, and whole front unit is in great shape). 

But if I were you instead of trying to "go it alone" in any part of REI if you are new, find an REI club like @Nathan suggested and find someone to Mentor youe en if you arrange a small fee for a regular time slot to watch them work, an agent, an investor, whoever -- any successful person who's done successful deals and can train you how to think/look, how to select which *type* of REI might be right for you even.
