Are you saying the most current appraisal was from before the previous owner upgraded the house?

THEN and only then upgrade any heating. 

I am an accidental landlord since my family decided to take advantage of a lower market in 2010 and rented out our first home while upgrading to a larger residence.  

I profit some every year but have been putting most of it back in it upgrading flooring beds etc.

Congrats to upgrading to Pro Aaron.

The condo will be titled in both my client's and the investor's names, and my client will pay all maintenance, HOA, upgrades and all or partial property taxes.  

I’ve been a free member of Bigger Pockets for a couple of years and finally decided it was time to upgrade to Pro.My work area is within St.

Having nice properly working appliances and taking care of these small nusience items are not even upgrades, this is what people will expect when they rent your home.

I've been interested in real estate for a number of years but I've never had an opportunity to get started, through a lot of reading and some financial self control  we are now able to rent out our home at a 20.12% cash on cash return based on what we've put into it and our ability to upgrade the property to a desirable amount.  

A few extras were thrown in by me - - the walls were already open so it would be foolish to not upgrade from galvanized to copper.
