When evaluating finishings or additions to a property you are looking to rent what are some ways you determine what is going to provide the best return and what is just going to eat into your investment?

From the phone discussion I think that the evaluation didn’t consider the additional ‘value’ to the structure. 

It appears by your progress so far that you definitely have some momentum going in your favor already.

How does one use the Rental Property Calculator if the duplex you are researching has two addresses and you're looking to evaluate the property as a whole? 

I understand that the commercial side is evaluated a bit differently then the classic residential side.

This prompted me to ask my agent to verify that those parking spaces were included in the deal and she said yes after the talking to the owner's agent.The problem is that I received confirmation verbally and I have come to realize I never verified that it was in writing.The PM next door now wants those parking spaces for their tenant which will leave me with only 4 parking spaces for 4 units that are 2br/2bath.It realize I made a rookie mistake for not verifying this in writing so I am now evaluating cost and planning to expand parking space in our property but I wanted to know if you can share some of your wisdom and see if there are other ways to approach this situation.Thank you for reading.

The biggest roadblock for me personally, is trying to evaluate properties and their potential rehab costs. 

I am evaluating a 30 unit apartment in Charleston, SC that is mostly month to month.

You can also hire an appraiser to independently evaluate what the property is worth for a fee, usually several hundred dollars.  

I’m currently using an Allied course; taking progress exams.
