I’ve been able to calculate all my monthly operating expenses, lowest possible rent, and upgrades.

You have a great rate and a house that's getting too small, but upgrading to a larger home with a larger rate is not doable.

Planning for potential infrastructure issues is essential, especially when dealing with properties that may need upgrades like connecting to city utilities.

If you get a high-paying tenant in there, you can increase your odds of increasing the home's value.So you’d prioritize cosmetics upgrades, or a whole remodel, rather than “new construction”?

But I recently upgraded and used a local designer who has given me full sets of interior colors and exterior colors so we can properly design each home

If that's true, then once someone has the login they can use that login to buy movies, PPV, upgrade to 4k, NFL Ticket, etc...

To share some numbers- I bought one in 2022 for $230k (I went over asking and that was a mistake), but got 28k in repairs paid for by the seller and then I put another $42k into it for upgrades.

We did a full remodel on the property, including but not limited to HVAC replacement, electrical panel upgrade and rewiring, and cosmetics.

Research high-rental areas, plan for repairs, and consider simple upgrades.

Feel free to DM if interested and I'm happy to help.Competition is tougher than ever, we're requesting all our clients budget $2-$3k per year minimum in upgrades to remain on top.
