The house has 2 bedrooms/ 1 bathroom on the main floor, and 1 bedroom/1 bathroom in the basement.

Flooring, countertops, paint, ceiling fans, stole all the mini blinds, ect...They considered that "normal wear and tear" and denied the claim.I then get a letter saying they are dropping coverage for too many claims thus putting me on a wild goose chase for insurance 1 month before my annual renewal. 

Anyway I have about $135k available on my heloc. sale price on the duplex is $279,000, so 20% is about $56k. the house is perfectly livable as-is, but at $60/sqft and properties on the block selling for $140/sqft i think there is room for some forced appreciation. the building is currently a three-floor duplex townhouse, one unit is the ground floor and unit two is the top two floors. all floors are basically the same floor plan. the second floor has a kitchen/laundry stacked above the first floor kitchen/laundry. on the third floor, the room is in the same place and empty, but utilities (water gas electric) are already run and in place for adding a third kitchen/laundry, so conversion to triplex would be simple as installing cabinets and appliances and building an exterior staircase up to the second floor rear deck. the three 2bed/1bath units would rent for $1000-$1200 a month each, conservatively. we would have to find somewhere else to live for that to happen, but that is our 1-3 year goal anyway. would it be better to make the bank loan smaller with a bigger down payment from the HELOC?

It has the possibility to have a separate entrance for a 3rd floor apt.

Making a very nice student house or a great single family house with the potential of a 3rd floor apt.

Replaced the carpet with LPV flooring, added new windows, and fixed minor issues with the property.

This property had 3 fireplaces and the middle floor fireplace has a large crack in the stone at the back of the fireplace.

For example, bars on the first-floor windows might be very important for one tenant pool.
