@John Fortunato I just recently finished reading The Wealthy Gardener and it was amazing. 

However once those hurdles are finished it might now be to troublesome to keep the the duplex here.

My question is i) is it common to add a second bathroom in the basement, and ii) the basement is currently unfinished - would I need to finish the basement in order to have the second bathroom?

If the same is true for you, you would have the first one full before you could finish a refinance.

Congratulation on being close to finishing college.

If I can finish a basement I’ll add a bedroom.  

Purchase price: $80,000 Cash invested: $16,000 The property was not fully developed, it was partially built, with a bank loan I finished it and made it ready for market, the investment has been fully paid and the property management has been a great learning opportunity.

Top of the line finishes, ample parking and yard space allows for luxurious city living.

@Michael Burriss it depends how big the gut job is and what the finishes are to be under $150k.
