Currently have a couple duplexes in my market that hit the 1% rule, fully rented, and clean (but not super updated) props.

How do the comps compare to your property; number of bedrooms, number of baths, updated kitchen and bath, finishes, and most of all is everything done.  

Specifically if a given property has updated systems and is held for a shorter period, the Cap Ex budgeted would be lower than a long-term hold with dated plumbing, electrical and requiring a new roof.Better to over estimate and have plenty of reserves just in case instead of the alternative.

Updates in kitchen and bath, the area was easy to work and sell in also What was the outcome?
