Hi Everyone, I am looking for some advice on renovating, specifically regarding energy management. 

Kinda envious of those who go all-cash, even if it's not the right path for me.To most of these points, there are tools that improve things measurably, it's just…they aren't very widespread in the industry for whatever reason, at least not yet.

What other improvements would you recommend to get above average rent?

Staying anchored to your analysis instead of drifting toward their expectations.Most investors spend all their energy analyzing ways to make a seller's number work.

“Core” inflation (excluding food and energy) also slowed to 3% annually, thanks largely to easing shelter costs, which make up over a third of the CPI calculation.📊 Bottom line: This is exactly the type of report the Fed wants to see before lowering rates again.

Repairs and upgrades boost value but can drain liquidity.Are you using any financing tools to manage improvements while maintaining healthy cash flow?

We improved.

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.

Love the energy.

Small rental+big city=bored dogs (especially large and high energy breeds).
