@Courtney Huber I don't know the current condition of the bathroom on the 2nd floor other than it being a full bath, but assuming it's already decent (doesn't lack something that would be normal/expected in your market), I lean in favor of the laundry.It sounds like expanding the existing bathroom would be just making what you already have (full bath) a little better, whereas adding the laundry would add a whole new feature (ability to do laundry on same floor where the bedrooms are, if that's where they are).

Items like expanding the kitchen and opening walls and doing a full upgrade would have got us about $50k more in list price but would have taken 2x as long and another $30k in work.

I currently own 2 properties in Kissimmee, Florida and I'd like expand my portfolio.

I think I'll need to make some compromises (like expanding the area I'm looking at), and I could really use some advice to help me close my first deal from someone in my area!

I would have saved a ton of money and time to do other things like expanding my portfolio or vacations with my family.

I would imagine that if one were to expand horizontally (like expand foundation and build or attach a new structure to an existing one), one would need to survey land...and this would more or less be considered along the lines of "new construction." 

Things like expanding exterior wall depth for new insulation requirements, new electrical requirements ect.

Hi all,I recently acquired a second duplex and would like expand my network of contacts and build out a list of reliable general contractors, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC specialist.

I know that if I continue to increase my sales that it will allow me to other things like expand my portfolio.5.

So, focus on things that are within your control, like expanding your network and education.
