Are you okay with the lazy landlord that won't invest in landscaping, allows his tenants to accumulate junk out front, never paints the exterior, and generally drags down the value of your investment.

I understand the need to motivate borrowers to pay off your loan, but trying to find ways to help them goes a lot further to building a long-term relationship (as opposed to them becoming a one-time borrower).Of course, all of this depends on how your capital is set up, and the overall market there.

The interior is very nice as well as the exterior. 

The house required a new roof, HVAC system, granite kitchen and bath counters, wood vinyl flooring, interior and exterior painting.

Added new roof, HVAC, granite kitchen and bath counters, wood vinyl flooring, interior and exterior paint.

We want to expedite the projects, especially the kitchen, on the existing home.The big projects include tearing down a load bearing wall to open up the kitchen, remodeling the kitchen, flooring in bedrooms, both baths and new paint interior & exterior.

I would replace existing flooring, scrape popcorn ceilings, re do the kitchen, re do the bathroom, paint the interior and exterior, and landscaping.

Full remodel upstairs and on the exterior as well.

I have a 50 year roof, commercial grade aluminum thermal windows, and vinyl siding with aluminum trim over all exterior wood.

I’m hoping to be “done” by late March (done meaning, Refinance ready), but I will admit since I’m also house hacking I’m spending a little more and getting higher end things like granite counters and hardy board siding instead of vinyl.The SOW Right after purchase looked roughly like:(1) total rehab downstairs bath(2) new Sidding, new windows, new exterior door, new roof(3) new Prime/paint throughout (4) new counters and appliances and light fixture in kitchen (keep cabinets and floors = huge win)(5) cosmetic update upstairs bath (new vanity and shower fixture)(6) new carpet, paint, ceiling fan 3x bedroom(7) new heat pump and furnace(8) demo and replace deck*(9) add 2nd story deck with back staircase and upstairs door (I wanted to add this to make it really easy to Airbnb the master bedroom, but it might not be in the budget)I am doing a lot of the work myself on weekends with my dad which has been awesome learning as we go.
