The idea was to upgrade the units significantly and raise the rents, then possibly sell once stable.

@Hsin-I Hsu  Owning a $2.5M house can be an expensive commitment, not just because of the upfront down payment but also due to the ongoing expenses for repairs, maintenance, and upgrades that inevitably come with homeownership.Renting at $5K a month, especially for a 4-bedroom house in the Bay Area, seems like a solid deal.

I got a very good price on the building (about $25k per door), but it was a ton of work as in addition to tenant issues, there was TONS of physical distress (foundation repairs, sewer line and water line repairs, electrical upgrades, new roof, and apartment renovations needed for all units). 

Secondly the kitchen could use some cosmetic upgrades as well especially considering the bathrooms look so nice. 

They wanted upgrades to electrical panel that was upgraded in 2009 to current code  (arc fault breakers) they said they would walk , I said good bye . 

We do some cosmetic improvements to bring homes to our standard, typically carpet and paint, upgrade lighting etc.

Will just have to upgrade every 3 years as Intuit closes down certain things such as the ability to connect bank and credit cards. 

I just upgraded from the free trial to full sub of rentalhero.io to manage 7 properties with room to grow.

These upgrades revitalized the home, boosting its curb appeal and market value.

It's an older place that needs some upgrades but every time I get anything done it's a half-*** job.
