Rehab items/strategies to maximize ARV

[Satish L.]

Hello, I recently closed on my first (duplex) property to BRRRR. The property is in decent shape and requires medium rehab. As a newbie to this, I'd like to know what are some ‘typical' rehab items/strategy to maximize ARV while keeping the rehab cost low. Any advice from investors and contractors would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi Satish,

You should be reviewing what you can do to update the kitchen first. Then determine if you can add any extra rooms. Try to find ways to get your duplex to conform to what is selling well in the area. A coat of paint goes a long way. A light amount of landscaping can help you sell the house as well.
