Once we get those in we look at their applications as we would a brand new lease. 

Due to increased rates i did not refi so i did not get opportunity to see how an appraiser valued the half bathroom but the comps with same bathroom count had crazy valuation for the additional half bathroom.Taking under utilized space like a work area to add a br where the added br does not put you above the normal for the area can add value.Similar if a neighborhood is virtually all 3 br and 4 br properties and you find a 2 BR, it could be a value add to add the bedroom via new construction.  

@Phillip Austin someone who obviously should not rent but buy themselves a brand new house. what was their previous place?  

When we purchased our laundromat, it had a strong brand and positive reviews online.

I have a few brand new homes popping out of the ground in Canby Oregon.. msut of Portland proper is very old the new builds tend to be skinnies or expensive . 

I am brand new here and I look forward to learning from the best in the business. 

turnkey section 8 is not going to be like buying a brand new home there will always be differed items or stuff that does not work etc.. age of homes makes this impossible. then you add section 8 tenants and  there you go

@Jeremy H Barton I would suggest taking a look at your cash flow before signing up for a HELOC on a brand new building.

I have yet to have a guest ask for a refill or mention the quality (I tried to pick a nice-looking, not-too-expensive brand).Be careful with the scents -- I had a run of people pulling out and hiding the scents and one or two people complained that they were scent-sensitive in private notes. 

Brand new investor - I wouldn't because of so many unknowns and lack of experience2.
