Adding value to a Property

[Christopher Sarmiento]

Question for the Forums,

I’m currently on the attack to purchase a duplex and each  unit has an enclosed back porches. I’m trying to decide what would the best route be and create the best value/forced appreciation.

• Converting that extra space into a Florida room or create a second bedroom and make it a 2/1. Because a Florida room would make it more attractive.

• What if I just make it a little bit of both? Bedroom with a lot of Windows surrounding it.

• Do I have to add central A/c? or can I just put a wall or door A/c unit in the enclosed space to add the forced appreciation.

Thank you for any advise!

Converting the enclosed porches to extra bedrooms would most likely be the best value-add play. 

Most people convert Florida rooms into living space so converting it to a Florida room instead of a bedroom wouldn't make sense IMO.
