Your house is going to sell for or rent for at market rate, whatever that is.However, some nice upgrades make it a lot quicker to sell and quicker to rent.There are cosmetic things to do to a house to dress it up that don't cost a ton of money.

Since there aren't many comps, I'm leaning to the conservative side and saying that the house would sell for $425k.The house is owned by the original owners and NOTHING has been upgraded since 1972!

Upgraded to forced air heat and central air, and had ductwork and returns installed as well.

I'm looking to upgrade my CPA with one that preferably has an expertise in real estate.

We've made some pretty important changes/improvements to the forums and have some great new features coming to the rest of the site.That said, I'm looking for your help once again as we begin to plan the next upgrade to the BiggerPockets Real Estate Blogging Network.For those of you who haven't tried your hand at blogging, the BP blog network is a fantastic place to get going.

By not over-doing it and by substituting in eco-friendly products into our "greenhabs", we've saved an avg. of 10-30% in our overall rehab budget.

To Charles Perkins in regards to code upgrades, that is 100% correct.

There are two section 8 tenants, one paying $600 and another paying $500 (not sure why different, but that should give a better idea of market rent)* Price is $27K/unit; will offer $25K and might settle at $26K* Buildings are in nice shape; built in '72, seller has upgraded alot of mechanicals in past few years.* If I can move average rents to $500-550 range, in my market I believe this will add at least $100K to value.

Also, what exactly happens with the depreciation when you go to sell those properties later on... and what if you do a 1031 exchange to upgrade say from several SFR's to an apartment building?
