Sealing the basement floor might help   (something that soaks into concrete then hardens,   as oppposed to a paint which sits on surface and flakes off)  then clean the carpets,  there may have been dirty spots providing nutrients to the mold.Add a basement ventilation fan that runs on a timer or continously to keep humidity down.   

High-cost cosmetic upgrades like siding, kitchen, and flooring don’t always give a dollar-for-dollar ARV increase. 

No icemakers or water dispensers in fridges; no sensors or other doodads in washers & dryers; coil stoves or basic smooth tops; basic dishwashers (I prefer the dial timer models but they're getting real hard to find).

Hey everyone!
I run a full-time, 10-person real estate investment team based in West Michigan. We focus mainly on fix-and-flip and buy-and-hold projects, and we acquire around 60 properties a year. Most of our deals ...

USB/USB-C outlets — great idea.Tenants absolutely notice these, especially near the bed and kitchen.

If you went with a direct lender you could get rates in the 10's for first timer experience (assuming good credit and down payment)

We are okay house hacking if there is a separate kitchen and living place because we like having our own space.

Stainless appliances matched in a mid-grade kitchen really ups the tenants perception of the apartment.3.

You can absolutely finish the downstairs — electrical, insulation, framing, replacing the garage door — as long as it’s still one legal ADU with one kitchen and one address.

They chase designer kitchens, luxury flooring, and features that look great on Instagram but add nothing to long-term profitability.
