Replaced furnaces, electrical, cosmetic improvements, & added a bedroom to increase value, etc.

They seemed to be happy and they nodded in understanding.THE SECOND MONTHSomehow during the second month, when the newness wears off and the happiness falls into a routine, the new Tenants become confused.

We do cosmetic rehabs all day long under $25/sq ft.

**JUST focus on the cosmetics.

**JUST focus on the cosmetics.

And then a few cosmetic things such as new paint, cabinets Just to get it up to the neighborhood standard.I guess my question is:How do I go about starting an analysis and determine whether to sell the house or rent it.I guess I could sell it without doing anything but perhaps my yield would be a lot less.Or I could invest into it and rent it but my dear would be hat this house would just need TOO MUCH LOVE to get it ready to do either.I would PREFER to have a rental if possible.How do I even begin the thought process?

Also, It will need about 10k in cosmetic repairs (reason why repairs are low) in order to get the rent that I'm looking for as well as gas and water will need to be separated in order to decrease expenses.

With full cosmetic renovations in place, we've almost tripled the rents (they started at $550) with new tenants.  

Repairs would be very light, cosmetic pretty much.

The property is located in a C neighborhood that has signs of improvement (new community center, homes being remodeled) and the duplex itself could use some cosmetic work (touch up exterior paint, landscaping, vinyl flooring, interior paint, update bathroom).
