I wasn't there when he did it but it was a nice 8" tunnel through the clay But he did skirt the 20x20 concrete pad out side the barn entrance.The same guy also did a complete sewer pipe replacement with a check valve & several hookups.He took out the entire width of the basement floor to the basement wall perimeter. the city paid for the sewer upgrade to the basement wall.Total cost $5000.

That's assuming 10% increase in two years, which is not a bet I'd make.Now, if you're really thinking of this as an investment, you should already know the ARV, if you're really going to improve it with those upgrades.

Gary Houck, this is right up my companies ally as we are in the process of upgrading a older home.

., and tend to be less emotionally invested in their properties, though some really do like to put in upgrades etc. since they spend so much time at work.

in the 12 yrs we have owned it, the Management company had and emblezzement (losing majority of the fund), Forgot to pay parking revenue to rightful owner (apparently it didn't belong to them for the 30 yrs), and HUGE 30 yr assessement to upgrade HAVC for the 500+ units......we were only able to absorb all the cost b/c it was in a great location, highly desirable and high rent area of a major city!!!!

If i remember correctlt I installed an energy efficient window and covered the upgrade of $30 and they paid to replace a non energy efficient window.

My unit has the same number and quality of upgrades as the comp (all cosmetic).

It had a huge driveway/parking space, you can put another house on.The lot is significantly larger than average.We go in....typical rehab/upgrades needed.....So...I'm interestedI go do my due diligence:It's an old development. 50 yrs old.

The only problem is that you will need to save enough money for closing which will be several thousand dollars.I have a friend who did this and upgraded his home several years later.
