Purchase price: $265,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Full interior renovation included: new fixtures, appliances, kitchen backsplash, primary bedroom bathroom upgade, wood-look tile throughout, interior paint, new HVAC, and quartz countertops among other items.

Full interior paint; Added new hardware, light fixtures and fans throughout the home; New granite counters in the kitchen and bathroom vanities; New appliances, tile backsplash in kitchen; Full renovation of both bathrooms including tubs, vanities, hardware, tile surrounding the shower wall and custom, moroccan tile on the floor in the owner suite; New gutters.

I spent about $600 on paint, new hardware, backsplash tile and a sheet of new Formica for the counter for this one... 

I put in stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, faux hardwood, backsplash and basically re-did the units.

I’m thinking hard surface floors, granite counters, tile backsplash,  stainless appliances, etc.

I will be doing a lot of cosmetic fixes and adding LVP, new paint, backsplashes for kitchen, adding better bathroom vanities, etc. 

This will include all-new systems, shooting for just-above-standard finishes and detail (i.e. tile backsplash in bathrooms).

This is in San Francisco so not sure how SoCal estimates would be: Hauling away 3 truck loads of debris:  $4000 Demolition: $6240Plumbing: $22,029Electrical $47,558 (all throughout the house including new panel, it had old knob and tube wiring)Sheetrock: $16,700Tiling: $22,600 (including kitchen backsplash and tile floors in kitchen and 3 bathrooms)Interior Paint $19,200 (smoothed out textured walls and paint all rooms) Insulation: $4890 (exterior walls, 1st and 2nd floors on exposed ceilings and walls and bathrooms for noise barrier)New baseboards and trim casing $1360Flooring $11,000 (new flooring in hallway and kitchen, refinish existing hardwood floors in other rooms)I hope this gives you some ballpark numbers to give you some ideas.

Replaced flooring, repainted the entire house, installed new trim, new doors, and cleaned like a maniac.I plan on resurfacing bathtubs and bathroom tile, fix garage doors, improve landscaping, and get a new backsplash/countertop for kitchen throughout the year before I house hack another home.All the comparable in the area are selling for 40k+ over our purchase price, I will consider refinancing whenever the FED cuts rates.What was the outcome?

In the process of revamping the kitchen (keep the cabinets but whitewash them, I do not like the current ubiquitous NYC "yellow" wood tone, also new backsplash, new stainless steel fridge, I may keep the current stove even though it is not stainless steel as it is fairly new and nice w vent, I may keep current countertops or replace w white granite as they are small in area) buy new toilet, the current is old and small, but the rest of the bathroom is nice!
