This 3BR/2BA home in the Portland neighborhood boasts updated floors, light fixtures, paint, updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms, fenced in yard, and more.

We also took out the inside basement stairs to convert the space to a larger en-suite bathroom with stackable Washer/Dryer.

They pretty much haven't been in the place for the last 2 months (water was shutoff in December last year), there is still food in the fridge, the microwave is growing its own forest, trash everywhere, food everywhere, the walls/carpet are just... nasty, and I won't even describe the bathrooms...

Boasting majestic 10' ceilings, the main floor has an open layout, a private fenced in yard, and features a first-floor primary bedroom with private en suite bathroom.

The kitchen and bathroom have been tastefully updated, and the inclusion of brand new stainless steel appliances adds a touch of sophistication.

One thing that I fixed was the ceiling in the bathroom of the second floor tenant.

The home next door was sold for 75,000 just recently and mine has an attached garage (theirs in the back), 1 more half bathroom, more lot space, chimney, and about 200 more sqft.

More ceiling fans, new appliances, new flooring, mow their lawn this summer, new fencing, bathroom makeover.Very tough for people to move. 

This strategy is very effective, especially on houses with lots of parking and houses with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms in areas near the popular locations around town.Realistically, you can get $750-900 per room that shares a bathroom, and $900-1100 per room that has a private bathroom.

To do that I could cut a hole in the dry wall and turn it 90 degrees so people can use it from the hallway but there is a light switch for a nearby bathroom in the way so that would need to be moved into the bathroom as well.
