Our multi-family portfolio: Upgrades
Upgrades & Repairs: 2009-2024
Please note that these repairs listed are only a summary, and there are many more I have not listed. We are constantly repairing and upgrading properties, and it's hard to keep up. There are some things that we'd still like to do: Freshen up the paint here and there, new parking lots eventually, etc.
Flooring is being replaced, unit-by-unit, with hgher end luxury plank vinyl. All painting is two tone, with either a light beige or bluish slate for wall color, and semi-gloss white for trim. This lends a homier, richer look vs. the typical "all-one-color" antique white that many lower-end landlords choose.
