In our area I can increase rents by 10% and property value by 20% over identical units on same street by doing these upgrades.

This was to protect the identity of the buyer.

These areas were once largely "undesirable" for generations and thus have developed a strong cultural identity but very quickly change with a large influx of money. 3.

You could have the identical offer (or better) compared to another investor but they are willing to pay all-cash and close in 7 days.  

I am using "I" because I am applying for a loan on my own, as  husband's credit is frozen because he had an identity theft situation a couple of years ago.

My business would ideally be structured to:1) Invest in notes and be structured so that if the property were acquired by the business through DIL or foreclosure, I could legally coordinate a remodel/resale even though i would not be "swinging hammers" personally.  2) Protect my identity - because of the nature of my regular job, I do not want to do business under my own name.

The last one that sold was an identical unit to mine, and it went for 35,000 more than my purchase price a year ago.

Your assessment on the numbers is pretty accurate if the duplex is not identical units.
