Do to my trucking business I'm pretty tied to the area so... lemons to lemonade until I'm that featured success story on the Bigger Pockets podcast.

So I'm doing major rehab of a 5 unit in San Diego and scratching my head on one particular "feature" of the buildings.The ceilings are really nice vaulted open beam ceilings with stained ship lap tongue and groove finish between the bay's - it's visually the nicest part of the units.Turns out the roof is - literally - 1x6 tongue and groove, then 1/2" sheathing, then roofing paper, then shingles.

The second largest employer is the hospital system as Fort Drum does not have a hospital or school system on post (which makes it somewhat unique) and is closely tied into the entire region.

Every house in the neighborhood is different, not one has the exact same features.

You actually don't need to be a PRO user to upload an image, its a feature for everyone :)Please go to link, http://www.biggerpockets.com/profile/photo, where you should be able to upload your photo.If you have any questions, let me know!

Does anyone know if you get a free BP T-shirt or Koozie if they feature your question on the podcast?

You can start by adding unique light fittings along with the furnishing options that will make the house look really good from inside and outside both.

If the apartment complex is all 2br/1ba 1,000sqft units, look for rents on other units in the area that are of similar size & offer similar community features.  

They have a great feature to show what properties in the area you settle on sold for they give solid comps.
