It's tough to compete with a 3 bed SFR with private outdoor space with the same rent unless the community is highly amenetized/well kept.It's a great pocket of the metro to try to hold if you can.Hope this helps! 

For example my simple spruce up would be, renno bathroom, and kitchen, paint, and redo carpet upstairs.But if i think real deep into what I could do to make it a STUNNER then I think, knock down walls, create more open/broken floor plan, add central air, possibly do an addition to add a 3rd bedroom and second bath.So when you could do ANYTHING .. how do you draw the line of what you should do?

But it depends  on who your examiner is to we are building the same floor plan in a 90 lot sub and one plan goes to one examiner and comes right back  same plan goes to another examiner and its got red lines all over the dog gone thing

. $230k - I believe $5000 out of pocket, seller paid closing costs etc.January - Today > Remodeled Unit 2, 3 & 4 New Flooring, Kitchen, Bathroom, Tiled Showers, ETC.Today > Resigned Unit 1.

And in the deal by deal syndication space, the deal will have a bigger impact on my returns than the sponsor.  

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

After a couple ears, buy another property and rent out your space in the first property.

What are my best options for leveling the garage floor so I have a flat surface to begin the interior build out on?

Quote from @Kristin Vegas: hi biggerpocket family. my name is cris and looking to buy a rental property in youngstown ohio for cashflow, i live in california and thinking in buy a property in youngstown ohio. anybody here investing there for cashflow if so, which area of youngstown is good and where to avoid. any friendly investor agent Youngstown has a lot of opportunity in the Section 8 space, but you do need to be careful and buy right.

An example would be a realtor brokerage that buys a mixed-use house in a downtown area, uses the main area for the brokerage office, and subleases/rents any remaining space to other businesses/tenants.
