I earn money paying off the mortgage, increasing the value of the property by theming and improving the property, building a clientele, getting high rates, etc.I automate and use good process. 

Thanks for your professional input.Great way of giving advise to a beginner landlord that wants to improve his business.

Then run sold comps with keywords; renovated, updated, improvements.  

The building should be maintained well CAM needs to be done and it needs to look good and be desirable  but taking a C Class to B Class or A Class can be expensive and not worth the costGetting good rents by reasonable improvments that are cost effective in my experience leads to more flow than a total gut. 

However there are nice streets even in bad neighborhoods and the only way a neighborhood improves is when people invest and make it better.

Even if no written agreement it seems everyone has agreed to it since it has been allowed and improved.

@Tahiv Grantham In a lot of towns they will cross reference with the building inspectors as to whether or not you made any improvements.

Don’t be offended or over improve your property to make it nice .

Typically, siding doesnt improve rent. 

I would guess a lack of ventilation and heat build up is what’s killing my shingles.
