Unfortunately many of the improvement costs do not deviate greatly when you’re renovating a lower cost property  in a particular market compared to a more expensive property  in the very same market which makes it difficult to absorb the improvement costs in some areas.

The mortgage payment is already high and my life circumstances have changed, making the payment even more of a stretch (not impossible, but definitely above the recommended percentage of take home pay).I am considering selling the first property next year (which has about $200K in equity) to do a mortgage recast on the primary and get my payment to something more reasonable.

Notably, there is often an unfortunate cycle where: (1) current ownership has financial struggles; (2) this requires the current ownership to fire sell or declare bankruptcy; (3) the development suffers as a result; (4) new ownership comes in and tries to fix it; and (5) the cycle repeats.

Unfortunately, there is no one size fits all approach.
