Although the home is mostly updated it is what I would call a "handyman special".

I don't pay the heat or the electric in my units so this is more for tenant retention/updating units.Any help is appreciated. 

I plan to update the appliances, countertops, and vanities.

We just had a tri-plex come up for sale (rare for this area), that needed updates that are in my wheelhouse that was priced fairly, and I'm not able to do anything...I don't like that and I'd like to set myself up to not be in that spot again. 

I recently attended a host2host.com zoom meeting, AirBNB Presents-Product Updates & Refugee Program.

I bought the house for $120k and plan to put $25k updating it and seems like the comps are going for $220k +.

I live in Pleasantville ny, easy commute no matter what route you take (train/car) and our leases for the renovated units in our 6 family a block from the train is: 1900/1 bed, 2400/2Bed, 3500/3 Bed (the other 3 units have long term tenants and are not updated so rents are lower)

I understand then he would be required to intend to live in the property as part of the qualification process for the FHA loan but this would not be a problem since the property is a newly updated multifamily in his neighborhood.  

Their technical support team seems to be severely under staffed, and slow to respond to my requests for updates. 

I have told my tenants that I was planning on converting the garage since February, and kept on updating them over the last few months that yes the conversion is indeed happening, this is the date to expect it to start etc.Due to their own personal circumstances, they brought an elderly parent over to the rental unit, along with a bunch of stuff that they are storing in one of my garages (that I will be converting).
