Greetings,

Just starting in the Real estate Investing world. Trying to find my first duplex. I have hit some road blocks. I look at duplexes and its really hard for me to believe that some of the duplexes can be rented out even when they are at a good deal. When I mean good deal i meant that renting out as is or minimal rehab. But as soon as I add the cost of remodeling a old bathroom and kitchen push the painting and new carpet, the deal is no longer attractive. My question is this. How does one decide the amount of rehab is required to sufficiently attract renters? 

P.S.

Anyone in my area knows a good GC to help me out on estimating the rehab cost?
