I'm okay just keeping the equity increase for now, but any tips on how to raise rent given the renovations I did already? 

If there are any specific tips specifically trying to rent by the room house hack in a college, like things to look for in the house, how to estimate the correct rent, or anything similar to that i'd really appreciate the advice. 

This of course depends on your starting bank roll - but if its like mine (under 100k) - Im trying to put as little as possible into it on top of initial equity and fees.this will likely chew a big hole in your ROI  (now if you are looking to improve value with a cash out refi or a great prospect comes along that needs combo new plumbing, roof, windows, foundation repair, etc - well just make sure you know what youre getting into and/or have a good contractor and finger on the pulse of the market when estimating the ARV YOURSELF - couple missed items and you risk having a bad first investment and not doing it again).    7) dont be scared be ambitious ( i should heed my own advice sometimes) 8) define numbers goals within your target areas.
