Guys sorry 1 more thing- if you use listsource very much, call their customer support line, ask to talk to manager, and ask to be upgraded to a bulk list buyer (or whatever they call it).

Fewer people have heard of Bradford, as it only grew recently as the province forced Bradford to re-zone a huge area of land after making the infrastructure upgrades to the area.

For what it's worth, my home appraisal increased $10,000 as a result of a $6,500 plumbing "upgrade".For anyone who has ever had a well/septic setup, they'll be quick to point out just how much of a PITA they are to maintain and keep operational at "optimal levels".

We did a service upgrade (60A to 200A) a few years back as part of a renovation and DEP (Duke Energy Progress) ran about 50 feet for no charge.

As we all know inspectors can be your worst enemy, they don't have to be your friend but you want to stay off their immediate radar..Code upgrades are usually only required if you pull permits.. to do upgrades,, but if for instance they do a yearly inspection and find you need GFI outlets in bath and kitchen you'll need to comply and get it taken care of.. along with what else they pick out that needs replacing or repair, once the door is opened up they have the right to write fix it orders until it's in good enough shape to comply with living standards.1. parking for your tenants.. forcing to register cars..

House is a 4b3b, needs bathroom repairs, maybe kitchen UPGRADE.

Then ask for some comps that have the "upgrade renovations" that you're thinking of doing.

If the walls are already open it's a simple and affordable upgrade that can make a big difference for a potential buyer in a higher end market so I say go for it.

I bought my first SFR this year in Arizona and have been doing small cosmetic upgrades to the property.

They are paying to use it, as "was", meaning when you rented it to them plus any repairs or upgrades you promised in the lease.
