Rehab extent

[Kevin Rowghani]

I am looking to make a purchase and have been approached with a property from a whole seller. He gave is ARV and Rehab costs and a suggested price for his sale to me. The question I have is to what extent should a property be rehabbed to? Do you ignore minor repairs? Do you make your property in the top 1 or 2% in the neighborhood? Do you go cheap using vinyl and bland appliances even for a first time home buyer market or do go with tile and stainless steel to attract and be the out front property?

I am being told to ignore some of my scope list stated below. This far I have done 1 flip and hold many rentals.
