I’m trying to get a better understanding of the unlevered IRR hurdles SFR / BTR investors have for value-add improvements.By "value-add improvements" I’m referring to upgrades made to a property that increase rent or purchase value, often including kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, solar and other energy efficiency improvements, fresh paint, a new garage door, finishing a basement, adding a deck, and updating flooring, to name a few.I’ve been hearing a lot of different reactions to this question the last few months.

Of course, YMMV.I would definitely get a good look at the neighborhood around your possbile purchase, and see if you think a nurse would feel comfortable finishing a shift and coming from the hospital to your quadplex alone and in the dark.

The main reason I would like to start off my career with flipping a few properties is so I can have a quick ROI and I want to do real estate full time as soon as I finish my contract.

A nice looking finished basement will go south real quick with moisture and your tenant will soon be displeased (rightfully so) about the nice basement they initially thought they had.See what the market is doing, but also consider what your specific property factors are. 

Finishing the basement would bring it from four bedrooms to five bedrooms.

I went to Federa's website and found SmartBuy DIY where I did by myself every process from start to finish.

There’s a company called Propy that uses cryptocurrency and blockchain to handle real estate transactions (From start to finish).

I just finished a quick rehab of an apartment in one of my buildings and I thought it would be of interest to see my actual costs. 

This fully renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home features high ceilings, modern finishes, and a downstairs bedroom for convenience.
