In the 30310 and the 30311, where I do most of my work, the prices of good renovations are fairing quite fine. 

Sure there are buy and build strategies (I.e. renovating, fixing up, flipping, etc) but that is active work and frankly I haven’t build an eye for that yet and think there’s more risk.I can take an example of a triplex property in Bridgeport CT I was looking at (and I have many many more) Purchase price of $225k.

Should I keep looking for something larger?

With that being said I have a whole third floor that I want to renovate.

If its larger unit size, you're not going to have comparable costs.Office may have higher margins when full, but a lot more risk.

I am one of 7, dividing up an estate is already a challenge don't risk your relationship with your siblings by making it a greater challenge for a larger part of the estate.

If the property manager can oversee the renovation, then that would be very beneficial to you.

It has been more difficult than I thought to find a lender because in the area I live in I really don't need a loan larger than what I could spend on a single family home.

Odd jobs like replacing a basement window and blocking off entrances for pests to larger one off jobs like replacing kitchen cabinets etc?

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.
