I'm trying to figure out which core improvements move the needle the most for the WNY buyer/appraiser.

But if rates drop by spring, waiting could improve terms.

Negative items started coming off my report, my credit score improved, and I was able to qualify for opportunities I never thought possible again.

DSCR rates have really improved over the past few months. 

That it needs reno, or holds improvement potential.

Improve the lookup function.  

To make my house worth $3,000/mo I think I would need to spend ~$20,000 on improvements.

Did it improve retention, or did they not care as much as you expected?

In Fayetteville, NC where the rental market is strong and it was only a 10 minute drive to downtown and minutes from a well- known University.  8-plex that needs minor improvements to get market rents: parking lot sealing, new front sign and painting of exterior.I thought this was a solid deal with an asset that would be a win / win for both of us.Thoughts?

Winter is creeping up, and for those of us managing older multifamily buildings (especially the pre-war stock with steam radiators), heat season is right around the corner.One small, inexpensive improvement I’ve been testing is retrofitting radiators with covers.Here’s why:- Safety: Tenants with kids or pets don’t have to worry about burns.- Efficiency: Covers with reflective backing help direct heat into the room instead of into the wall.- Aesthetics: An old clunky radiator is rarely the best look.
