The rent increases are with no added renovation besides typical unit turnover.

800K in renovations roughly 8K a door What was the outcome?

I have had inspectors look at rooms on renovations that were not permitted (we weren't even doing work in the rooms) and asked that certain changes to be made to bring the room up to code (it was minimal).

@Daniel GrantzRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

If you’re working on a time-sensitive flip or renovation, hard money could be ideal.

Renovated in 2023, annual gross rents $144k + utilities.

We purchased it off market, as-is, and as it was our personal home, we renovated over time.

Typical renovations include:Cosmetic Updates: Painting, flooring, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and landscaping.Structural Repairs: Fixing any underlying issues such as foundation repairs, plumbing, or electrical updates.Efficiency Improvements: Adding energy-efficient windows, new HVAC systems, and better insulation to increase the property's overall value.The goal of the rehab phase is to increase the property’s market value while making it an attractive place for tenants.

However, the process was extremely cumbersome, communication was inefficient, and the loan fees were inflated compared to other deals I have seen from fellow investors.We will be ready to begin the refinance stage of our next project in the coming days, as renovation is finishing up and we are screening tenants.
