Look for adding square footage to property maybe converting an attached garage to living space, or adding a bathroom or bedroom to the units to fetch higher rents. 

Purchase price: $28,500 Cash invested: $178,000 Sale price: $250,000 Bought a 3 unit riddled with drugs or prostitutes from the city at the tax auction, spent a year gutting and consolidating all three units in two structures to a single-family home with an exterior side entry garage.

Currently, I have 11 doors under contract. 

I have also rented out a detached garage.

Unfortunately, the previous owners used the same lease for this garage space as they used for the residential units.

My dad or mom would drive us to the neighbohood early in the morning ( kind of like a newspaper delivery kid) and we would do door hangers till about 1pm..

Hi Irene,I had a client that did this with a home and a barndominium next door. 

There is also a 3 car garage in the back, which could be rented separately and room to store an RV in the back as well.
