any time I spy a condo upgrade I get them all. that leads into the original post. storage is the thing.

.- There is also a high HOA, $170/month.If I decide to rent it out, the expected rent in the area is $1650-$1700, it is in a pretty good shape and no upgrades needed, hard wood floor, granite counter top, it's all there, I don't expect heavy maintenance in the neat future.Let me know what you think, is renting it a good idea?

If it's internal plumbing revisions, electrical upgrades and/or wall removal/additions, then unless you have pre-renovation floor plans showing what changed, you may be at a lost.

The house needs about 40k worth of work (New Roof, interior and exterior Paint, Flooring, possibly new plumbing, kitchen cabinets, kitchen appliances, lighting)  subbed out and around 25-30k if I put in some sweat equity and take away some upgrades.

So you'll be stuck with trying to collect on a broken lease, you'll be looking for a new tenant or you accept the Sec. 8.  

After gaining much benefit from Bigger Pockets I upgraded to pro.  

Many new investors forget to calculate that income will likely go down as you are upgrading the property.

It's currently rented out at $825/month and as it sits needs no repairs or upgrades.  

Your selling agent should be meeting the appraiser at the property to point out the upgrades to the property.

I was hoping that with the upgraded features in the home I could get a tenant that would spend $1800-$2k for rent.
