Got a three unit in livable condition, but needs modernizing and a few repairs.

Combined with the price I paid through the auction, they are much higher than market valueproperty 1: paid 100k, owe 170k.

I'd get a small HELOC in combination with cash and/or partner with someone else to get a deal done.

On a new build $275k is the sweet spot but if you go up to like $320 it better have a steep roof 9ft ceilings and curb appeal front or it will sit up to 90 days before selling.Its basically what most people can afford around here.I would take more of a data approach to this instead of guessing. in our market all new builds combined that sell on the open market is about $550k. we build between 350k and 500k. we also stay in line with where national tract builders build in our market which s 400-600k but we like under 500k in Columbus Ohio. in miami it's similar in suburban markets  

We've had good experiences with the new peel and stick wallpaper, it is install friendly for the DIY'er, have modern designs these days, and great for accent wall/areas like yours.

We should meet up and see how we can combined forces :)

These updates modernized the property, improved its curb appeal, and significantly increased its market value.

Hello BiggerPockets community,My wife and I have a combined W-2 income of approximately $550K, supplemented by $100K in stock grants annually.

Also, my city has 'combination sewers.'

Many of us get frustrated self managing and seek a property manager for various reasons.For me, it was a combination of problem tenants for one of my properties, then a few months later I moved across the country and came to the conclusion that hiring a full time PM would be my best course of action to maximize efficiency on my properties.
