When interest rates rose and when people had to make principal payments, suddenly they couldn't afford too.

Post your pictures and post some of the rentals in the area and their rental amount.Personally, I like to go for the higher end renter without over investing.At a minimum you'll need to:Install a a new compressor is about $2500 and a cage $450.Paint the interior 2 - 3 colors - pick favorite neutrals and stick with them so it's easier to maintain.

Bathrooms get outfitted like people live there...shower curtains, towels, soaps, toothbrush holder, lotion dispenser all in coordinating color scheme.

For more color around these 10 ideas, I was fortunate to have Kevin Bupp, commercial REI podcast interview me on this topic recently.  

I started out in the architectural field and moved over to interiors to roll up my shirt sleeves and play with texture and color (my two most favorite things next to bourbon and pork belly).

Good color choices and finishes!!

They are tough to find because the zoning dept has a pretty stringent idea of acceptable lot coverage.I tried to add a bedroom, not a whole unit, and got the keee-bosh.I've got a gal friend on Rose street that bought a SFR and plans to add a unit.

A property that looks old and dated will be vacant far more then a nicer one that has been updated with new countertops, nice ceiling fans (not the cheap 4 blade white ones), new vanities, nicer faucets, exterior neutral paint colors, ceramic tile in kitchen and baths.  

The MW has color built in and won't require painting.

Protect yourself and be honest with yourself.Your interior design friend will be helpful as you choose paint colors and things, but you may want to avoid potentially costly structural moves of things for your first flip or two until you become more confident and knowledgeable.
