I also am adding a bathroom in each unit.

On my end - I've heard that some of the easiest (and potentially cheapest) tricks could be:- applying a fresh coat of paint on the exterior / interior living room spaces of the home- refurnishing doors / door knobs - updating the lighting of bathrooms or kitchen area light fixtures- bathroom refurbishment- curb appeal / clearing out excess weeds/trees/shrubbery.I've also heard of situations where the home owner would either offer to build, or provide a backyard shed for the tenant as additional storage space, charging an extra $100-$150 per month if the tenant wanted to use it. 

Second invoice had a description of Plumbing-Install New Shower Mixing Valve (Materials and labor included) charge $350.00.While I understand when things go out and need to be replaced etc. but this seems excessive for the same bathroom, Shouldn't they have had just one plumber do everything. 

Sending you a request to connect, I need more details (# of bedrooms, bathrooms, if a garage is needed, etc) to see what I can make happen for you.

If you buy a property at a discount or you buy it an add value, add a unit, change it's use... then you can do a cash out refi and get most or all of your cash back out. 

Looking for a general contractor to get quotes on the following:-Replacing cast iron plumbing for PEX-Remodel bathroom-Replace cracked foundation in 2 car garage-Convert 2 car garage into Studio ADU (approx 340 sq ft)Any recommendations would be appreciated!

I am looking to finish my basement, including adding a bedroom and bathroom.

Spent 15k Adding a bedroom, bathroom , new roof , paint , etc to the house.

Bathroom hardward (TP and towel racks) - mount to a 1x4 plaque that is screwed to studs. you can pretty much hang on it without pulling out the hardware. i use entry level granite countertops - stain resistant, and should last a long time. i put LVP through the entire house, bathrooms and closets included. its water proof and scratch resistant. while the initial cost is more than carpet, you wont have to replace it as often. i use Sherwin-Williams Harmony line of paint, in a semi-gloss sheen. the semi-gloss is easier to wipe off for small marks, and the harmony line has deodorizers built in. for exterior door knobs, i use the smartkey knobs from kwikset. you can rekey a knob in a few minutes - no need to pay rekeying fees anymore. last tip - figure out which appliances your market typically provides. in my market, its not common to provide washers and dryers, so i dont. thats one less thing to have to repair. 4. i dont see an issue with the gas stove. to convert to electric you will need to have a 220V plug, which could be costly to install if not already there.
