I think, though I don't know as this property is a new area for me, it got me an additional $50-75/mo rent and a tenant that wants to stay for a long long time.So it is a 3 year pay off for the cost, but the intangible benefit of reduced vacancy/turnover and maintenance I believe will more than pay for itself in the next year or so.There is a balance to taking it up a notch versus over improving, but striking that balance will definitely payoff over the long term.

I have some cash that I can use for down payment but will need to finance the balance.

Depending on the quality of the asset and your personal balance sheet, you may have a hard time finding a bank that would allow that. 

Here in Clarksville, TN, where I manage properties, we have a very healthy balance of cash flow and appreciation.

You can also also the applicants to pay a holding fee or negotiate a longer lease so you minimize vacancy loss next year to help balance. 

I'm just wondering what the value and appreciation would be without price controls not to mention the societal impact of a more balanced supply. 

Central banks must carefully balance the pros and cons of lower interest rates to ensure overall economic stability.

Reduce Your DebtPay down existing debt, especially high-interest credit card balances.

How would taking them and trying to sell them to a portfolio holder that may need some negative profits to balance out their portfolio sound?

I have been working toward that for some time and I am 80K from that point (80K balance on rec property) My investments are all cash flowed very well so I do not include that as my debt even though officially I guess it is.I have the ability to pay off all my investment properties 100% in the next 1.5 years.
