Hi I know loopnet has mostly office and retail commercial properties but we're considering an upgrade to the premium account for access to more MultiFamily listings in South Florida and it doesn't let you upgrade online...you click a button and they tell you they will contact you shortly by phone.Obviously, this means it's pretty expensive but we are in need of expanding our search.

Putting in an offer on a duplex in the Newport, RI area and without walking inside of it quite yet it will need some cosmetic upgrades inside to make it slightly more appealing to renters and make it renter proof for me.

.- Its 3/2  currently rents for $1000 p/m- Its 2/2 currently rents for $800 p/m- Its 1/1 currently rents for $600 p/mSome of the cap x tentatively planed are:   upgrading the apartments with modern technology ( inclusive of appliances), making the property 100% gated, adding 24 hr security.My questions are:- is it realistic to target an increase of  at least 50% in rent?

If you upgrade your membership, you can get the documents included.

Unless you are adverse to insurance or its concept, you still want coverage in case the building burns down during reno because of say an electrical fire while the electrical was being upgraded. 

There may be some updates needed to reach out comps but here is what I have.Unit 1 $1,700 with potential to reach $2,500Unit 2 $1,600 with potential to reach $2,500Unit 3 $1,300 with potential to reach $1,750I would want to put down a lower down payment to save cash to make potential upgrades.

I plan to make some upgrades when they move out. 

I have saved up money to upgrade my family to a bigger home and want to take advantage and rent our starter home.

Expenses are taxes, ins, utilities, and HOA fees.My question is should we rent full time and profit $7200 - $8,000 annually or sell (125k) and utilize 1031 exchange to upgrade to a larger vacation home in same area where rental restrictions aren’t as strict as Condo w HOA and rent multiple times a year without multiple HOA deposits and parking, etc.Price for upgrade home would be around $400k.

The owner was very nice by allowing me to get up and close to check the property out as well (which I plan to do this week)Here’s what I’m thinking..Asking PriceTenants monthly rentTaxesRecent work/upgrades/maintenance/CapEx etcThe area, number of bed rooms and bathroomswhat else might you add to this?
