Regarding amenities, focusing on affordability is smart, but even small touches like well-maintained landscaping and curb appeal, modern or fresh paint colors, energy-efficient LED lighting, updated cabinet hardware, ceiling fans, good window treatments, and ample storage solutions all stand out and can help fill units faster and improve tenant satisfaction.

Quote from @Jeremy Horton: It depends - how much do you have at your disposal to generate 2k?

I can generate better revenue against cost building less.

And generate some responses here as well.

Love that energy.

In some areas, the numbers can actually make more sense long-term, you get all new systems, energy efficiency, and no inherited maintenance issues from previous owners.If you’d ever like to explore what that process looks like, I’d be happy to share some insight.

I also know that upgrades would make the property much more energy‑efficient and cost‑effective in the long run through lower utility bills.With that in mind, I’m considering using the VA renovation loan to update the electrical system, add central air, and address any other needed repairs or improvements within the budget.My main concern is that most of the multifamily properties I’ve looked at currently have tenants in place.

Right now, though, I have the energy and interest to imagine investing in a few hands-on projects.

Quote from @Barbara Johannsen: I used to think the only way to make money in real estate was to own rental property.Then I learned about note investing — owning the debt, not the property.It’s been eye-opening to see how investors generate monthly income from notes.Anyone else exploring this side of real estate?
