I have improved fair rental value and value by increasing the kitchen size; adding an island tearing down walls between the kitchen and dining area and living area, etc.It all depends on the particular property.

The rental yield is pretty low compared to its value, and selling now while it’s in great condition could help you avoid the stress of managing it or dealing with wear and tear.

The property itself is a good deal, there's a lot wear and tear in apartment so will definitely need some serious renovation work, but mostly cosmetic.

WARNING: if you do not prepare for this, you can enter a death spiral: deteriorating properties lead to lower rents, worse tenants, more wear and tear, even less cash flow to fund repairs and ultimately erode asset value.I do not mean to rain on your parade, hopefully, this is a helpful long term perspective.

It's been on a tear this year (my initial investment grew 2000% in 8 months) so I'm looking to cash some of it out into RE but I would rather pay in bitcoin directly than cash out to dollars because cashing out large amounts of bitcoin can move the markets (if I sold $1M of bitcoin I would get a lot less because the entire market would see my sell order and it would drive the price down) than if I just used it directly in a transaction.Good luck explaining that to a seller and the Title Company.
