That'll provide more room configuration possibilities too.

How it is configured to invest does not change the tax rules.UBIT applies to any IRA, when it engages in a trade or business activity.  

Is there some doubt/ambiguity on the configuration? 

If all units are exactly the same configuration, same finishes, same rents, etc. then I'd wait a month or so and see which is the least desirable tenant.

@Jon Holdman Just got it fixed and cleaned from the plumber, actually the plumbing wasn't done right from the GC who installed the washer dryer hookups in the basement unit , he didn't put in a vent or a cleanout pipe and did a P-trap configuration wrong.  

You know the different configurations and packages.

I am posting this in behalf of my in-laws who are the landlord of a rental affected.The landlord was notified last night of flooding in the basement unit in a duplex (upstairs, downstairs configuration) (older home).

Additionally, older properties may have used poor or unsafe construction materials (like asbestos), which you may have to replace.Beds/Baths: Different areas will have different prevailing bedroom and bathroom configurations.

I was able to accomplish what we did, because I was not capital restrained, and because I knew exactly who the prospective buyers would be and how many of them I could count on to buy a home in that redone community.As a general rule, our company never recommends anything narrower than a 16' wide, even in shorter configurations, unless it is a smaller multi section like Titan builds for lots that have width but not length.

--I've budgeted no more than $140,000 for a near total renovation (roof, siding, re-wire, re-configure, addition of master bathroom and relocation of first floor powder room, etc, etc)--Comps justify an ARV of +-/ $750,000.
