Is that because you didn't want to go to all that rehab effort AGAIN, for a (mere) $44.5k improved value, if you had to spend that extra $25k to get there?

Zillow seems to have some more feed gremlins lately, others are complaining as well.In the end, it does not matter what you bought a property for as long as you have made improvements that added value.

If it is really bad, honor the existing lease and give them notice that you won't be renewing (need to make improvements, raising rents, etc.).  

Having a real estate license doesn't make a person a good agent, and if you're getting feedback from clients questioning your value, maybe you should ask a broker or someone else for their objective opnion on how you might improve your business.

If you're in a growing market, you shouldn't have any qualms about raising rent 3% to 4% every year.Also, as far as wear/tear repairs ago, if you are going to be spending 15% to 20% of yearly rental rate on home improvements, it just means you are responsibly taking care of your asset.
