I’d be happy to provide suggestions on tiles, fixtures, or color palettes that are both budget-friendly and attractive to buyers.Looking forward to hearing more about your project!

Quote from @Landon Sheveland: Curb appeal to attract attention, then kitchens and bathrooms are usually the most important areas to focus on.

I am under contract for a 3 family home w a very unique set up. 2- 1 bedroom apartments and 3 and 4th duplex which has 5 bedrooms but only 1 bathroom this home is 8 min from Brown University in RI and 10 min from Johnson Wales. (6miles)Do u think its close enough to attract college students especially the duplex? 

The cleanest route but the least attractive method for most investors is to have the investor provide debt.

I think for the 2 other attractions nearby, a lot of people I'm assuming aren't needing lodging for the museum and or park.

And a lot of start-up companies are migrating to this city as well because of the OSU campus that has thousands of talented students graduating and looking for positions locally.Everything that’s going on here in Columbus is attracting investors and other businesses from all over.

Staging your house well can help you attract more attention from buyers, which ultimately helps it sell faster and maybe for a higher price than an unstaged home (see visual):What Are My Staging Options?

Additionally, these properties generally attract long-term tenants with longer leases, offering more consistent cash flow

The area has attracted a lot of new young professionals with their work from home marketing that gives $10,000 to qualified families to help them establish themselves in the area.

If you can rent 3 units for $2,000 you are close to breakeven.On the plus side, you will have a highly attractive asset and several decades without much cost of capex and repairs.
