I figure if I make improvements to my community my goal, then improvements to my finances will follow! 

(They should perform at least a quarterly inspection.)9.How do you handle capital improvements?

My wife is currently taking classes to get her RE agent license to lower some of the evaluation barriers when driving for dollars as well as easier access to MLS data.We are always looking to improve our market knowledge, we would love to hear of any advice or potential deals you might & we are willing to share all that we know as well.Let me know if you would like to chat sometime!

In addition to what was already mentioned, in my area finished basements and central air adds brownie points around here.

My partner and I actually went and established an account with TD Bank in the Bel Air area last week, a day or two after my post.

Once again, great advice from Josh.You know you can improve your credit yourself and if all you need is a few points it should not be that difficult.  

The space has central air and electric but the previous owner did not put in plumbing.

I'd raise an eyebrow with regard to whether you could do much to improve the cap rate (and hence value).  

What else can you do that is low cost, but high appeal, like investing in improving exterior landscaping out front to maximize the amount you sell for.

Roads, improvements, park, services.That reduces from 36 lots to may be 24 lots.
