Hi, I am a new investor and I am interested in a property in a low income neighborhood that has 8 standard windows with a few of them broken out. I am thinking of replacing all the windows with glass blocks, for security at a minimum. I think this might be a better choice that doing metal bars on the windows for the most basic reason it looks better. What do you all think?

I am looking to build a 750 sq. ft. house ( a 2/1 specifically) and I just want to get a rough estimate of the per square foot cost? Thanks!

I am in the process of purchasing my first deal, a 2/1 home that has Section 8 renters paying $1,280 monthly. Based on the numbers, this home is giving me a positive cash flow $50 monthly after all expenses and management. The homes in this area do rent up to $1,700. I would just like to get mine up to at least $1,500 eventually, maybe even while the Section 8 rents are still in there. What are some little "inexpensive" add-on / upgrades can I do to the home help increase the rent while at the same time giving them the security that I am trying to make this place better for them? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just wondering but how much smart home technology have you added to your locations like video doorbell, smart lock or smart thermostat? How much would you increase the rent by?
