Great work on utilizing a 1031 exchange to upgrade your portfolio.

A current tenant has damaged the rental property beyond the normal wear & tear. (3 by 6-foot hole in dry wall; Garage access door complete broken off with damage door frame, the main entrance door way frame is broken and need to be replace, damage to the rear entrance door frame as well).

Tampa stands out with diverse neighborhoods ripe for smart upgrades and Florida's investor-friendly laws.

You mentioned the fridge is broken.

Upgraded windows, landscape work and made two separate dwelling units.

Too many tenants will tell you a rental is perfect, then they move in and start demanding you upgrade appliances, paint the walls, replace the flooring, add a deck, etc.

Caveat: I will be doing upgrades, etc throughout the years to justify the increases.

Paint, flooring, and upgrades.

Although it was in good condition, we earmarked some funds for further improvements, including repaving the driveway, installing a new privacy fence, and making select upgrades and repairs inside the units.One of the standout features of this property is its prime location near the vibrant downtown area of Bryan, with easy access to restaurants and shopping, which added considerable value to our investment thesis.Initially, our plan was to utilize the duplex for Airbnb rentals.
