We purchased it with the intention of living in the Ground floor + BSMT apartment and renting the 2nd floor apartment.

Put A little over $100,000 into renovations, mainly solidifying the property against hurricanes with impact windows & doors and a metal roof, but also some cosmetic stuff like floors, lighting and paint, etc.

hi @Jaycee,  the top floor(the one you see on the listing 8915 E Wes Pl Tucson), is essentially a ground floor as far as entering and exiting the home as the bottom floor(finished basement etc) is underneath it built into the other side of the foothill the house is sitting on.  

Renovations were mostly cosmetic but included a new roof, windows, siding, front and back porch and patio, new flooring, paint, kitchen, bathrooms, fixtures.

The good news is that there are plenty of investors who would be interested in the property as-is and even more investors interested if:- The property is in an area they are familiar with- The property is in a desirable area- You are deep into the eviction process (it seems as though you are)- You can deliver 1 unit/floor vacant (this could happen before closing)That said, if you can keep it, I'd say do it.

Thanks Sam & Heather Jones  I did sub out most of the work, the hardwood floors, tiling the bathrooms, carpet, granite. 

In some areas, we board up the 1st floor windows until we are about to start marketing the property.

All it needs now is a little TLC to bring it to life—think fresh paint, new fixtures, etc.The cabinets, floors, and walls are all in good shape, so you’ve got a solid starting point.

I like to compare services and packages before choosing any vendors, and thought this might be a good place to check for feedback. 

The tenant fails to pay their last month's rent and leaves the place needing new flooring and paint.
