@Frank Agyeman-Duah I tend to agree with @Ron Szmik on upgrading for a first property. 

Looking for a contractor that can 1.) inspect the property pre-purchase and 2.) be able to repair/renovate/upgrade a property. 

Ask them what the current average days on market is in your neighborhood, ask them to tour the property so they can offer suggestions regarding repairs which may be called out during a potential buyer's home inspection, have them offer guidance on upgrades to add resale value, etc.

Hello BP Community!
I am about to change out my flooring from carpet to luxury vinyl for $2200.
My question to the BP community: What is your process for calculating the increased rent?
Do you try to recoup the ...

Inclusion of 25k from HOA to upgrade boat slip.

So the way to handle landscaping or upgrades etc is to have them as add ons to the construction contract so the builder completes and they become part of the completed. house.

Selling a few houses a year while going to school is better than working retail plus you will be learning the industry.Starting at a 2-year community college is a smart way to go to save tuition dollars as long as you have a solid upgrade (transfer) plan to a BA/BS college/university to finish.

We have had multiple tenants make claims regarding promises of former owner for upgrades or lease terms We have also had cases where the tenant was paying a different amount (both more and less) than was specified in the lease. 

Relatively easy to upgrade with "wow factor" finishes that get SFR's sold.  

Would the area rents support the upgrades needed to get high market rent rates?
