The side where he lived just needs paint and flooring.

Why would you give them free rent with they still have full access and use to the stove, refrigerator, walls, closets, flooring, roof, garage, lawn, etc.?

They come with fantastic insulation between the floors, extra parking on the side with a separate entrance, their own laundry, and plenty of bedrooms up & down.

The interior had gorgeous hardwood floors under the carpet, and large rooms all around on a large lot.

He took depreciation on the prop, claimed the kids I’ve had primary custody of, and likely pocketed the returns.I am in the process of trying to engage a communicative/experienced accountant to assist in cleaning this mess up asap and fortunately our amazing bookkeeper of approx 8 years is very knowledgeable and responsive.

1-4 units the floor rate I have recently is 6.5% for 30 year fixed residential. good credit, ratios, etc factor in but par is landing around 7.25%-7.5% without buying it down.

Upgrades like in-unit laundry, new flooring, or upgraded kitchens can increase perceived value without major investments.Rent out Extra Space→ If possible, look for ways to increase income from the property.

I only have one exit/entrance but I have a deck on the second floor unit so I'm thinking I can have a emergency ladder that goes to that from one of the windows.
