There could be tremendous opportunity (to increase rents and property value) if you are that one "owner" and you probably could do some major improvements just buying 2, 3, or 4 together, creating a quiet, well kept, good tenant end of the street (paint all yours the same color and build appropriate fencing, etc)...

We had to spend 2 days patching tiny holes, then painted the whole house.

We did a lot of landscaping and we painted the entire home inside and out.

The old owner also updated the appliances and painted for me..

Will do some exterior painting and trim work in the spring Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

New materials and paint, fixed the minor issues, updated technology, had the HOA involved.

Lifted our ceiling up for more open feel, added an elevated primary bedroom and bathroom, fresh paint and beautiful materials.

To get an HOA fee like that in my city your condo has to be close to or more than a million or be in a historical area where there is a ton of outside pait details, wooden storms, pools, cedar shake roofing, and 10 paint colors.

You will have vacancies, the carpets will need to be cleaned, walls will need to be painted and different items will have to be repaired and replaced.

But in the meantime, I am keeping the units as livable as possible, including installing new stoves, new carpet, new paint, new sub floors, etc...To answer your question, yes, I have given homeless sleeping bags, I have put up homeless in hotels, I have bought meals for the hungry, I have even had them sleep in my house.
