@Kyle Jensen great transformation!

@John FaradyI have an associates degree in Electric Utility Substation and Relay Technician which allows me to work for a utility or be a contractor servicing industrial computers that monitor and control the power grid in addition to many other things like testing transformers, circuit breakers, capacitor banks, etc.

It took a LOT of books and audiobooks (podcasts weren't a thing yet) to start the mental transformation to get rid of the W2 mindset and how to go into business for myself.

Here are some top suggestions for cost-effective renovations that can make a big impact on your rental property:Fresh paint: A fresh coat of paint can completely transform the look and feel of a space, and it's a relatively low-cost renovation option.

John Dessauer used to have a local apartment splitting strategy that you may consider looking into that apparently works well in Chicago to transform multifamily units into 4-plexes that make use of FNMA financing to bump pricing during resale.  

As we ourselves are located in Barcelona, we are teaming up with Africa who is based in Valencia for our latest project in which we are transforming a 300m2 garage space into three residential apartments.

amazing transformation....any major work; new electrical, plumbing, roof, siding, basement walls??

In my opinion the only time you are likely to see true appreciation is when an area goes through economic transformation - small town turns to resort destination, local industry (ie tech or oil and gas) booms, or something of that sort.
