(Tear down a wall renovate the kitchen and bathroom) AND STILL HAVE A LOWER MORTGAGE3.

With the exception of houses being much more expensive and being able to get 70% of ARV here in San Diego, there's not much difference.However, a deal here in San Diego is more psychological because of the price rather than the risk/reward.For example, to build any house, you'll pay about 10% for the kitchen whether it's a $100K house or a $1M house.Plus, if you find a $5M deal that's 70% of ARV, you'll find someone willing to partner with you.

or any buyers  I wouldnt put the first picture as the kitchen, some people might click past it and assume condo.

Looking at a place that has a SFH with a detached in law suite (3 rooms plus bath, no kitchen).

Newer replacement windows, new exterior doors (originally the building used hollow core interior doors with a screen door as the exterior).I approached the owner of next door sometime in 2019 to see if they would be interested in selling. 

We just installed all new windows in the building and it would be really nice not to have a bunch of a/c units hanging out of them in the warmer months.

I want to get new flooring, update the kitchen and bathrooms, and possibly make some changes to the floorplan if feasible.I am new to posting so if this is the wrong place to post this please let me know

But will be updating the kitchen and bathroom of the unit we are living in next year as I ready it to rent out to someone else.

We are currently renovating the vacant side of the duplex with new windows, new bathroom, new kitchen and basic cleanup.

Maybe lightly stage the kitchen with some colorful accessories, touch up the chipped/stained looking paint on the cabinets.
