If your renovations allow for higher rents (or possibly allow for sources of ancillary income), then the value of the property will increase proportionally.

couple things now you learned that you never sue over EMD unless your talking 50 or 100k... just move on and find new buyer.. hiring a lawyer for this stuff is a waste of money and too much grief.if you dont really need the space in the basement why dont you just fill it in with Sand and compact it while you go up..end of problem and not expensive..

@Michael Ealy - have you seen the property taxes raised up to the purchase price, or just increased a proportion from previous assessed value?

The Multi's are usually very compacted to certain areas. 

If I wasn't already doing the panel work, I would have just split the utilities proportionally since there's almost no return on the meters if the tenants are currently paying all utilities.

Good management costs 8-10% depending on the property unit count and the total number of units you have with the PM.If you're more than doubling the value of the property, you should expect your taxes to go up proportionally at the next assessment.Insurance will likely go up as well.Any lawn care/landscaping required?

Seems like she would need a grading/ excavation crew to do the dirt work and compact with fill properly.For the deck, I think a person who specializes in outdoor carpentry or perhaps even a finish carpenter?

Rate of return should always be proportional to the level of risk.

The great thing about real estate is your risk is proportional to your knowledge.

The wording seems to be capital is returned pro-rata. so when things go bad, both class A and B investors would lose capital proportionally. so class A is not as protected as you might think.so in that case, why would you want to invest in class A?
