Hi Scott, I've owned one for 2 years and the other used to be our former home until we moved to Rochester.The one I bought two years ago was a foreclosure, I spent almost 4 months doing repairs and total bath remodel, flooring, painting, plumbing.

I will get a permit for both the basement remodel and the bathroom remodel, but do I need to be lead certified and get a # to give to the city?

I'm a big fan of your remodels.

if it doesn't, the owners might not have gotten a Building permit to remodel from a duplex to a triplex.if Zoning only allows duplex, you'll have a choice to make - which units should you combine, and will you still have cash flow?

I called him to let him know about the major remodeling and future rent change.

There is a value to a long term renter...but here it might be further deferred repairs/remodeling of the space.

Hey guys, I just bought a duplex and it could use a little upgrading does anyone have any wholesaling websites, or ideas that I can do so I don't spend a boat load of cash updating my duplex?

Thanks!

Repair and maintenance for example, can be expenses for tax purposes, but improvements like a kitchen or bath remodel would need to be capitalized.

I really don't think I'll have the margins to pay a stager but am considering hiring a "virtual stager" or just leaving the newly remodeled house vacant.

Been fully remodeled throughout and is very nice.
