But, I don't think I really saw increased rent on those upgrades because 1) the kitchen also needs to be updated2) the bathroom wasn't completely remodeled so it feels a bit incomplete The kitchen is too expensive to remodel and update. 

Hello- This is an interesting post since my HOA at one of our rentals in DFW mentioned  2 days ago that our Bradford Pear tree has grown a lot and they fear it could cause damage if a strong storm breaks it (we've gotten several strong storms this past month and no branches have broken). 

Once you open up those walls you never know what you will find.Things like a roof or termite damage could cost you thousands of dollars to repair and would likely eat most of that 10k.You really have to know your market well and what type of upgrades the buyers are looking for in that particular area. 

HelloI have been on here for years but just decided to turn PRO since I'm trying to do this full time now.  I have been wholesaling bank owned and hud homes but I am now getting more into finding motivated homeowners....

I also highly recommend upgrading to BP pro.

I put it under expenses other broken into monthly payments for the annual amount.

Later I want to upgrade and put my mom in a house (it could be the one I move out of).

IF you still don't see it, it's possibly you either:- Never bought the "Ultimate Package" of the book OR- You didn't use the bonus code when upgrading to BiggerPockets ProHope that helps!

The few that do might have requirements as such:- owner would need to have lived in the unit for 2 years first- owner only allowed to rent out unit for 1 year, then must come back to live in the unitDon't forget to allot money for maintenance/repairs inside your unit (broken dishwasher, refinish floors, stuff that will inevitably come up, etc.), so $415 is probably a bit inflated.

I am looking to get my feet wet and get in the game of investing in westchester county, NY area, that is why i upgraded to PRO.
