For instance, one property seems to have an extra bathroom that is not listed in the county records.I plan to make some modifications, including removing a closet wall to expand a bathroom and taking out a kitchen island that contains electrical outlets and a switch.

An example of this is I had one trash company that collected the same three containers for $90 less than the in place trash removal company. $90/month X 12 = $1080 increase in NOI, at a 10% cap rate that small change increases the value of that property by a whopping (1080/10%=$10,800)!
