Quote from @Chris Magistrado: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: I like the way you are thinking, but it's a little apple before the cart although you seem to get that you need experienced partners to make this work.

It seems this investment was incredibly successful for you, but the resale is most important.

Your estimate seems low, but even at that cost, it will not add that value.  

Also rents seem to be less in Racine than in Kenosha.

What I found was, yes it was nice have additional income, but each project seemed to always interfere.

In part because the sink is under the window which to me seems like a natural spot for it. 

23 days on the market doesn't seem like that long, especially since the holidays just passed.

I was also considering the REI expo in February so maybe I'll see you there.You're a self-proclaimed novice but I think many other members of the community would agree that you're well on your way given your potential cashflowing rental and equity.You seem to have a strong position which would allow you to keep growing your portfolio in the next few years.I'd recommend diversifying your RE portfolio the same way you're diversifying with other investments (REITs, Stocks, bonds etc.).

Seems interesting run a split test see if it works out for you.

Depending on what the potential jobs offer in terms of income, does this seem like a realistic strategy?
