There are two streets north of campus that we have done 14 student rental conversions, turning rundown 2 and 3 bedroom houses to fully remolded high end student rentals with additional bedrooms and living square footage added.There is also substantial opportunity in the older neighborhoods near downtown that have yet to be revamped.

Example, if I do landscaping and I normally cut the grass, weed eat for a resident I charge a flat rate based on square footage.

I wound up renting out my primary house last month & bought a home for us doubling the square footage...it's beautiful!

For instance, lets say your subject property is a 3/2/2 1,500 sq ft and you are looking for retail-flip sold comps within .5 radius of the subject property, within 6 months, similar house style, sq footage etc.

What's the square footage and did you build on the old foundation or dig it up?

That comparable rental is a 2 bedroom apartment with no yard and not listed sq footage.

It was a dated 3/1.5/1 with more square footage and he suggested not to even bother with the rehab if I was to buy it since I would be unlikely to get more than $1100 for it, regardless of cabinetry.

A good pm can generate there own rough proforma for a buyer of a multi family based on pics and  square footage and see value add to boost a commercial buildings noi. 

If you wanted to sell you also have to find a buyer willing to pay extra for your house due to solar even though its the same bed/bath and sq footage as all the other homes in the area.Finally 15k is a lot of money upfront, and would go a decent ways towards the down payment of a second rental property instead of trying to complicate things with solar.

any idea to insure 1 bedroom condo in minneapolis area ( 700 square footage )
