70 West 82nd street is a great opportunity to take ownership of an upper west side brownstone on 82nd and Central Park West. With the majority of the units rented below market value, despite being free market, there is a significant value-add opportunity available.
Each unit can come up an average of $346.11/month to bring the building up to market value. Additionally, the units haven't been updated in ˜20 years and can benefit from an updating of kitchens and bathrooms, and a re-staining of the floors. Doing this can easily pull in another $1,000-$1,500/month pulling the total net income up by $157,380 from it's current income, or an additional 67% income increase.

Potential for Renovation
If you spend $500,000 on renovations throughout the building, (i.e. updating countertops and bathrooms, re-staining wood floors, adding dishwashers to units that don't have any), I believe this can easily yield an additional ˜$1,000-1,500/mo/unit resulting in an extra $100,000/year.
Note**
This building is currently under-rented, with several tenants paying well below market rates.
For example:
-one tenant pays a below-market rent due to a friendship with the landlord
-The penthouses are identical, however there is a discrepancy in the rental rates for two nearly identical free market apartments apartments.
The most accurate evaluation of this building’s rental potential, without additional upgrades, is reflected in the "Market Value" section.
