Almost identical income from military to civilian job.

A US hospital would have two identical machines sitting next to each other and in order to improve the statistical accurancy they will run the same sample on both machines - twice!

So far this seems straight forwardThe two 4-plexes look identical and share a laundry room and common backyard.

I don't want to step on toes, but each group has its own personality, its own identity.

I'm working on a project identical to that, converting a 4 plex to an independent living / group home / or assisted living facility.  

Extra expense was about $200 per unit but I'm getting $50 more per month than the surrounding quads that are identical. 

Below are details on the "identical" property.Purchase price: $150,000Rent: $1,000/Mo. or $12,000/Yr.Financing: 20% down, 4.5% interest, 30 year term.

Two comp all remodel nearly identical sold for 268k and 270k in last 6 months.  

When the sale went through, the appraisal magically came back exactly for the value of the purchase price, which was almost identical to the last city appraisal that was done prior to the roof, furnaces and painting.Soon after we closed, we completed substantial renovation work on the house, putting a new kitchen and bathroom and electrical panel in the upper unit, adding central air and completely repainting both units, landscaping the entire yard, adding an additional parking space to the property and adding new fixtures to the bathroom and kitchen in the lower unit.  

While the units may be "identical" the view, location, and upgrades all effect price, and you have to adjust the comp.s for this, against the subject property.
