Note the property tax will be -10% on the rent by itself.Month 0 to 24: $2450 * 0.5 - $1573 =-$348/monthMonth 24 to 60: $2450 * 0.5 - $1541 =-$316/monthNext issue is due to the low leverage starting at month 24, the ROI takes a beating.  

Adding and making better could sell or rent faster, but it won't get you more than what the market ARV and rent is set at from other similar comps in the area....and your Interior Design background will help, if you you it mostly as an understanding of cost. 

Interior drawer depth (front to back) needs to be at least 14".

Second year distributions rise to 5.27%, third year 7.27%, according to the projections.Those projections may be at risk, for many reasons: the recent huge increase in interest rates -- increasing the cost of loans and decreasing valuations, insurance costs have skyrocketed, real estate taxes are up, labor and material costs for repairs & renovations have increased, etc.On the plus side, the majority of the ODC funds were designed to be high value add projects with plans to increase operating efficiencies, add tenants and raise rents.
