We added over 300 sq ft and fully updated the kitchen, added a full bathroom and a third bedroom.

A person can find some prints to use for at best 8-12 unit complex but up to 50 units, an architect is essential and one who knows multi-unit housing and not some quazi-art piece of a building.

this would get you to 24-32 tenants.My thought would be to have each room with it's own bathroom, hire a cleaning service for common areas, and building out a shared deck for the four buildings and maybe a smaller building as a common area as well.Any flaws to this idea, assuming numbers work out?

added a bedroom and bathroom. new paint, flooring, kitchen, bathroom , appliances, lighting, windows, etcWhat was the outcome?

@Joe Villeneuve Kitchen and bathrooms are outdated.

You mention wanting to do a rehab, is that an extensive rehab or just kitchen, bathroom, floors?

Here are some thoughts:1) The traffic issue with the pet business is definitely something to consider. 2) Some may differ with me on whether a pet business is an "essential business" and how it will do in the next pandemic spike, but that would also be a concern.3) Having three tenants in the building instead of two will also reduce risk.4) The buildout that the pet business does may not be easily used by the tenant that moves in after them.Hope this helps,

You are not going to be flipping this property so making sure that it has the right number of bedrooms and bathrooms and the right location will be key. 

Hi all,Most of my rentals are all upgraded and almost like-new, but I have one that requires a new bathtub, new bathroom floor, full house painting, new trim in areas, etc. otherwise it's in pretty good shape.

We did some remodeling in the vacant one (spent about 8K on floors, painting, new vanity in a bathroom, and redid kitchen that we hired out and my husband is a master electrician so he put in new switches and fixed any lighting issues and a couple other little things) and we put it at market rent.
