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.

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

Lenders view that more cleanly than a retail contractor loan.Pay cash if you can swing it — then it’s just a capital improvement that boosts the property value, no monthly hit to your DTI.If selling soon: a new metal roof is a great selling point.
