I'm sure a more modern solution like Swiftlane will come at a price, but it may save you from some headaches with building security and tenant retention.No matter what you decide, congratulations on the 8 units thats awesome! 

Also was able to reach another lady and have exchanged texts.

The ladies assure me Vermont Mutual has the best, most affordable policies.

Is to be saleable and relevant the home generally needs massive upgrades to make it modern.. your not going to get top dollar for a home thats been a rental for 15 years and is as is.. ( with the exception of high priced coastal markets ) .

Hello Misael, I would do a thorough market research to verify that you can get the rent increase you want, you might find out that the market is oversaturated with rentals.If you are trying to raise the rent $100/mo, 1 month of vacancy ruins your rent increase for the whole year.I would list the property for lease 45 days before your tenant's lease expires, if you have your property priced right you should get some applicants before your lady moves out.

I think I will replace the counter sink with a vanity with sink, get rid of the medicine cabinet/mirror, with a more modern mirror, get rid of the shower pan, and replace it with something else (suggestions?)

Plus, older properties in established neighborhoods often have more stable appreciation over time.On the other hand, the new development, though slightly more expensive, might offer modern amenities, energy efficiency, and potentially lower maintenance costs.

I got the blank stare of death from the nice lady at the office who had no idea what I was speaking about.

Are you sludge hammering out the old coal heating systems for modern natural gas Forced air HVAC units?

A modern contemporary masterpiece, the amenities and finishes in this project are top notch.
