Estimating cosmetic upgrades

[Mark Huang]

Hi everyone,

Is there a good way to estimate cosmetic upgrade costs to refresh a property to improve it's marketability for renting out? I imagine it would be on a case-by-case basis but just looking for general guidelines to help out with projections (still looking for first deal). If it helps, this is for multi-family in Southern California and I was thinking things like repainting interior/exteriors,  redoing flooring, redoing front lawn (if available), recaulking bathrooms, redoing countertops, etc.

Thanks!
