One is almost fully updated with a new kitchen, new flooring and paint throughout, and the bathroom has a new vanity and fixtures.

Put some good food  in the middle of the living room floor , some candles , some mood music to set the tone .  

I found an old, large half a twin (side-by-side) that had been legally converted to a 2 bdrm apt on the 1st floor, and a 5 room "regulated rental" on the 2nd and 3rd floors.  

Making changes to the property without written notice (Changing Hardwood Floors, changing a brand new set of washer and dryer and various other paint jobs in the house) Today I get a message from him saying that the remainder of the rent will be paid on Tuesday (since Monday is a holiday). 

I am looking for someone who refinishes and installs new hardwood flooring at a competitive price.

We didn't do much to the exterior so it would blend in and not attract the wrong attention, but the interior has inexpensive but modern finishes, brown-grey laminate throughout, light grey walls and white trim, cool pendant lighting, open floor plan, you know the template :) 

Seeing these numbers actually made me realize something that while I am looking for my first deal that because I am looking to implement the BRRRR strategy that I don't need to hit the Cash floor rate of over 1.

All entry doors (in Calif) must be solid core, not like hollow core closet doors.Depending upon the floor plan, you may also need a fire-door rating -- just ask the City Codes department.

But in general I think what drives me most to this category is I enjoy making a rental unit that is modern, clean and would be enjoyable for myself (even if it has vinyl plank flooring).

Property profile:  1906 American 4 square 2 flat, 1100 SQFT per floor.
