This means that the rental sweet spot of Las Vegas has enlarged and higher priced homes (250k-300k) can now be good investments.Property prices may decrease due to the rising interest rates.

I completed a similar rehab: needed insertion of beams for structural support when we took down a wall between dining and kitchen, plus new deck, and a few window enlargements.  

I should have emphasized enlarging the doorway as well.  

There's more - we installed all new kitchen cabinetry, new appliances, and enlarged the opening between the kitchen and living room to make it more open, modern , and bright.

If you enlarge the area to include Central America as many do, I'd consider Mexico (full disclosure: I own property and now develop there) and Panama as well, which have even less grid, road and supply chain issues than the Dominican Republic.

It seems there won't be major issues renting out.Rents are very low currently which means we may have some initial turnoverAs a non-conforming there is unlikely much that could be done to improve or enlarge the current 2 buildings.Not quite $100 per door positive cash flow right off.PositivesIt is west of Washington and about 30th (for the locals here).

This hypothetical renovation would add a den to our first floor, and upstairs would add 1 bedroom (making it a 4 bedroom home), and enlarge one bedroom (creating more of an obvious "master" bedroom). 

Hello Bigger Pockets community,As you can see, I'm a new BP member as of last night.I'm looking to connect to seasoned RE investors to provide value and great deals to their portfolios.Currently I started wholesaling as a means to enlarge my pool of contacts and gain experience in the dealings, so within the following months be able to purchase another rental property in Los Angeles.Please, feel free to drop me a line.

It has 3 bedrooms but the master bath is really small and not a large closet.Would you recommend taking the 2 small bedrooms and enlarging the bath and closet making it a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo.Would very much appreciate any advise on this subject.

That is, unless you are FORCING additional equity by buying below market value, and/or adding more value by rehabbing/enlarging than it costs you.How much EMOTION (ie. wasted dollars) will go into deciding where you will "house-hack" and what you will be prepared to pay?
