Additionally I was considering targeting properties in $100K range, that way I could be rehabbing 1 and have enough cash to buy the next deal, the spread on $100K properties is not as big as though. 

You want to feel confident that in the way the lender determines value, that the addition of the garage will increase value with their methods?

I used to charge $49.00 for a half hour of troubleshooting and seldom ever needed more time than that .

Hi All,I came across a 5-plex that is zone as R5 and the seller is saying that there is a potential to add 1 additional unit making it into a 6 unit complex.

There's a ton of articles out there about additional lease addendum's you need to have which are not covered in a standard lease. 

Hey all, I am considering a 4000 sqft 2 family house with a full basement that I am looking to turn into an additional legal unit.

On most of our rehabs, we add SQFT with an addition or by closing in a garage or carport (perfect example here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/55...).

Honestly, it's been a great property to own so far (I know the time is limited)  and the current tenants, on top of paying their own utilities, handle a lot of their own maintenance, too.As an investor I'm in full acquisition mode and looking to acquire additional properties, deal permitting, and scale up swiftly. 

We virtually always have a qualified tenant resulting from the initial open house, but we seldom have more than a few qualified tenants from the original open house and we always have significant initial interest (20 to 40 inquiries).BTW no matter how much a potential tenant states they like the rental, if we do not get a completed application on the spot we have less than 20% chance of getting the completed application. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
