Hello,I was on here about 6-7 years ago, but I underestimated where I was in my life (ended up having a couple kids). Now, my situation has changed (divorced now, and the kids are a little older) and I am looking to r...

Having a broker makes that broker deal with the lender headaches, non responsiveness, ridiculous conditions, all the docs, and pushing it across the finish line within 4 weeks.There's lots, and I mean lots of turnover in the industry. 

Updated units that show well still move quickly at or above market rent.What type of finishes does your unit have?

In Milwaukee, I'd need 2 exits from the attic and 50% of the space has to have at least a 7 foot height on ceilings.Two things you want to check: both requirements are correct, but on top of that the city is getting reluctant permitting 3rd units: 50% more occupants mean 50% more water and sewer and 50% more traffic and parking.The other issue is that the cost of finishing a thrid floor with proper insulation/ventilation will run about $50-60/sf and only makes sense if you can get strong rents. 

I have been looking around, and found very interesting proposals for the new buildings, which should be finished only in 1-2 years.

Whatever you decide will be best for you - BUT - if you do re-finish the floors....MAKE SURE you do the prep & clean work....after sanding - sweep at least twice.....then tack cloth (you can make them yourself - basically a rag with mineral spirits - VERY easy) - I went over the entire floor twice - I might even suggest three times....it gets the "crap" out of the pores of the wood & lets the wood take the stain much better....and the more coats of poly, the better - but take your time - as they ALL have to dry...MAKE SURE they are dry...
