BRRRR Rehab options for higher Appraisal

[Brett Robinson]

I just bought a single family house with a finished basement suite. I didn't buy this for a BRRRR but I think I could swing it. The basement is in good shape and upstairs is also not bad the kitchen could use some updates or painting etc. It is 2 bedrooms up and 2 bedrooms down. It is already appraised about 10K higher then purchase price.

What could I do for Rehabs that would get me a higher appraisal without doing any major work? I know this depends on specifics but I’m looking for help.
