Hi everyone,I have a property that I just purchased that had existing tenants. They have been there for ~3 years and are currently month-to-month. I'd like to do 2 things: increase their rent to market value and ask t...

Next best thing is durable dollar priced commodities.Oil is free fall and has high storage costs.Platinum is being dumped by Russia because of sanctions and oil prices.Palladium had a good run but their have been improvements in catalytic converters reducing the use. 

In 10 years time that unit (which I converted to a condo) went from $160,000 to $705,000 when I sold it (I couldn't resist the $500,000 tax free gain.)

We're eyeing a property in the Philippines (my hometown) so the actual numbers are huge (in millions) but I roughly converted the values in dollars for easier analysis.

We are converting part of our home into a "built-in" granny unit.

Any of the developers compensation can be converted to equity tying their profits to the success of the project.

One is a 12-unit apartment complex the other is an 80 room hotel that I would convert into 35 loft apartments.

We are considering converting the garage into a studio apartment given that we don't need the garage space today, rentals are hard to come by.

There's a possibility of converting unfinished basement into a one bedroom apt as well so with some work, it could bring in more than the mortgage amount easily if all three units were occupied.Has anyone ever converted basement into living space?

All partners contributing equitable cash.1st property was almost turnkey - took a little paint and spit n polish and it was up and running.2nd property was a total rehab, then converted to rental.The way we decided to do it is that on the first property, the partner who is managing that property gets a percentage of monthly rent as a management fee.
