I recently had a leak in my water line on the second floor and had to have some work done on my living room ceiling.

@Anna Evoundi hi I will be living on the first floor rent the second it’s a multi family

I was hoping to get some professional opinions on the following renovations: Staircase (3 apartments), kitchen cabinets, floor, boilers, a single siding beam that is completely misplaced. ( New Heven, CT)Shahar Joseph

My capex budget includes but not limited to: roof 25 year life span, floors normally 10 years but tile will be 20 or 25 years, appliances and hot water heater 12 years, hvac 20 years, bath and kitchen remodel 20 years, etc.

While each floor is ~1200 sqft, it will be a challenge (though not impossible) to reconfigure the building to four units ... though you might be able to segregate the ell from the remainder of the building and turn it into a multi-floor unit.You will need a building permit to renovate that building whether you reconfigure for four units or retain it at three.  

The property is selling at $194,000 4 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom Duplex with two car garages on the bottom floor, a nice deck per unit, and dated interiors (built in 1995).

Way back before I owned the place (1986) the place flooded with about 1-2” of water covering the basement floor.

Used HELOC for down payment remodeled the first floor right away and moved the tenants from upstairs to down stairs and raised there rent $100mo.

I am talking with my bank to refi my primary residence, but my commercial mortgages have prepayment penalties and are set by my bank's internal interest rate floors, since they are balance sheet loans, fed rates won't bring them any lower.My HELOCs are lower now, but nothing I can or will be doing with those, as they will always remain floating, so there is no benefit at this point.

I found this on craigslist and asked the landlord at the time to pay for flooring for the front space.
