70 West 82nd street is a great opportunity to take ownership of an upper west side brownstone on 82nd and Central Park West. With a number 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 $230.50/month with exact numbers provided in the chart and also noted below. 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 $800-$1,500/month (depending on unit) pulling the total net income up by $141,060 from it's current income, or an additional 56% 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 ˜$8000-1,500/mo/unit depending on the 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 "Market Value."
