Currently the attic space is split between the two units, but I plan to close it off from one side, and make it a bonus room / bedroom for the other unit (hence the higher rent for that one).Once completed and rented, I will do a cash-out refi to obtain my optimal ROI numbers (I paid all cash for the house and will probably use a home equity line of credit to do the renovations).
