It seems like the asking rents on renovated new rentals have gone up a lot, so we are wondering if it is worth doing renovations to try to attract a good tenant pool?

Then there is quality ofcourse, for any given element there is basic material with a handyman's installation, then there are various upgrades with a tradesman's installation, and finally there are premium materials with a true craftsman's installation.It all depends are you flipping a $40k home, $400k home or $4 million home.

Side by side duplexes tend to be more attractive to renters over the up and down style.

One would think that the market would at some point rebalance to make it more attractive to choose this model as a reward for giving up flexibility and the potential comfort in being able to set up camp permanently. 

Your business should have any structured in such a way that you could avoid 10 million in a gain.

I had a broker do CMAs (BOP) and the portfolio has a break up value approaching 8 million.  

You used leverage to buy a $500K - $1,000,000 dollar home, that means it will gain $500K - $1 Million in the next 7 to 10 years.

out here in the left coast were developement ground kind of starts at 200k and acre and goes to 600k an acre plus.. you can imagine the farmer who bought 50 years ago for nothing selling there 30 acres for 5 to 10k million or more.. 

I have millions in loans with them.

I do know the 504 Reg D use to have a limit of 5 million raised in a year, but even that is now at $10 million cap.Although, would love to hear more on the restriction if find it.
