Huge value add by implementing these technologies. 

We added value by way of a thorough update and modernization of the property.

I work as a lead product manager at Lumen technologies. 

It will affect how you set your pricing, setup your business processes and what technology you will purchase.Good luck

Technology has made it easier to self-manage.5.

Would that still be the case going from a very run down, needing full renovation, 3 family to a fully modernized and extended 2 family? 

It's nasty, it's ugly, but the material and the technology have been proven since 1945 in sanitary systems.

If it were me, once I had my financing strategies in order, I'd look for a realtor that is also a proven investor themselves and understands numbers and all financing options....people I recommend in our market are Marcus Auerbach, Homestead Realty, Premier Point Realty & Modern Milwaukey Realty all brokers who are also successful local investors.....as it pertains to real estate investing, having a realtor that is skilled in investing is the same as choosing an accountant because if you're going to be involved in real estate, you definitely should have an accountant who specializes in real estate investing and not just landlord investing--ALL aspects of investing from rentals, flipping, self directed/SoloK, structuring etc---they should love real estate as much as you:) I was just involved in a deal on a Cudahy duplex house hack where the investor used FHA financing from Lower.com and I was quite impressed with them.

I'd check Storage Rebellion, you're going to need to invest a bit into technology and compatible hardware.

Hi Victoria,All of those individuals could hold the solution to your problem but may not necessarily offer budget friendly options as they have their own additional fees for such service.I would suggest speaking with a Carpenter or General Contractor who specializes in Kitchens and Baths as they can assist with the design and execution of the project.As far as some options that you have (without seeing you kitchen) you can refinish the cabinets to update the color, replace the cabinet doors to a modern style, or update the counter top and backsplash.
