I have a duplex in Petworth Washington, DC, that needs a complete renovation, specifically to start with I want to:Modernize everything (everything dates back at least 30 years maybe more)New KitchenReplace the floors because they can't be refinished again.Add a second bathroom to the upstairs unitReplace the back 2-story porchFinish the basement apartment (it is bare wall now) into a 2br/2baFix/Replace retaining wallOverall I want to significantly improve the quality of my units.  

I wanted to share this sheet not necessarily because I think it's the best, but to get feedback from you all on what improvements or changes I could make.

We fine-tuned our tenant qualification procedures and improved our due diligence skills as it was one the oldest properties we ever purchased - built in the 1940's.

You defiantly should replace the access panel, and you should make soundproofing improvements to this unit, but you need to take a harder stance with the tenant and let them know that you do not respond to noise complaints that occur from 9-9 or whatever hours you pick.

That price point to me is more for trying to improve value rather than buying a rent ready property.

There are allowable and not allowed improvements.

This cycle involves planning, acquiring, operating, and improving the asset.

  $15k down, carry $100k with right to have them subordinate to a bank lender after you improve it enough for a bank to lend on it. 

I usually design to my client and or architecture of the space or a mood I am trying to create.
