The duplex needs about $25K in work (update flooring, update the kitchen, update the bathrooms, paint the walls). 

I can buy tile, light fixtures, bathroom fixtures, drywall, paint, primer.

I forgot about this post... fast forward 5 years and I have converted this to a 4-plex by adding a kitchen and bathroom and a bathroom to one of the other units. 

I am able to do a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) for you with specifics based on what you are looking for, however- I just need square footage, zip code, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, neighborhood, year built and age of home/upgrades and improvements to compare.

Common types of renovations that can reduce your tax liability are adding new bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.; remodeling an existing space; replacing or adding AC, flooring, insulation, roofing, etc. 

I could see kitchen and bathroom themes moving away from their current blue/grey/white (i.e., cold) theme to something warm again.

When you create a listing on these platforms, you will have the option to provide details about your property such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, amenities, and rental price without disclosing the exact address. 

Any costs directly associated with building the basement apartment, such as separate entrances, kitchen installations, and bathroom fixtures, can be directly allocated to the rental portion. 

The channel we originally were going with only takes the 1007 number - we tried to dispute the appraisal with supporting comps and the fact that the appraiser completely missed a bathroom but they wouldn't increase the 1007 amount.

I added a half bathroom.
