Don't get me wrong, I'm all about using the cheapest rental grade materials that get the job done!  

The greater the equity the better the grade of investment.

If you have craigslist furniture that you have little investment in, low grade carpet, cheap appliances, etc., then you'd feel better charging less than expensive finishes, furniture, and upgrades that would cost to repair/replace if they damage them.  

There are condos that cost almost twice as much in LB with the same amount of rooms and baths but in less than convenient locations and with an estimated mortgage of $2000.The condo is walking distance (less than 5 mins away) to food stores and pharmacies.

You could put a 13 seer contractor grade or one step up in your unit that will work for the space.Ok average I charge around $3000 for a mid range AC install.This does not include any ductwork.

If someone knew my their votes had a greater influence, they may withhold a vote for a comment that they felt did not warrant that much weight, but still was a positive comment worthy of something....it also could skew the influence of favorite folks.I know of another system that grades on a scale of A, B, C, D and F that assigns positive and negative values, but does not reveal who voted.

When we search for clients anything sub 2 million it is harder to find what I consider quality properties to own for tenant and location with return.The properties tend to go close to asking.When you go 3 to 5 million in price the availability of quality product greatly increases and the cap rate tends to rise as well.3 to 5 million range I like national site down restaurants with investment grade rating.

However, there was a 2100 sf, half below grade basement.

It's really going to depend on your location, the type of contractor you use, the quality of vinyl (whether it's insulated or not), etc.But, here's how I would break it down and make a guess...I would expect you'd be looking somewhere in the $150-300 per square (a square is 100 square feet) range for mid-grade vinyl (non-insulated).

I've been very successful with rentals and mid-grade flips, but I'm moving more and more toward high-end flips and multifamily.
