The exterior we removed all sheeting and replaced everything and installed vinyl to update it.

2) Overhead, exterior, interior?

You might have a home that literally takes one dividing wall of 2x4s and a kitchenette, or you might have a home that you need to add exterior doors, breaker panels, relocating utilities, etc.

Lesson learned: stick to cosmetic fixes unless you’re ready for the stress of a full reno.If house hacking isn’t working in your area, maybe look into single-family homes with ADUs or just an extra bedroom with an exterior entrance.

I would advise to buy all of them because it will make it alot easier for you to put capex money into exteriors, landscaping, fixing parking lot , fencing , lighting , etc because sometimes the hoa might not be collaborative in my experience.

If no, are there photos of each unit and all closets, the basement, the roof, the exterior, and all mechanicals?

Purchase price: $307,000 Cash invested: $118,000 Purchased in January 2021, we successfully renovated the interior and exterior of this home that resulted in a premier vacation rental property.

Rents are $3K but we're aiming for $4.5K/month* Went from a 3/1 to a gorgeous 5/2 and from 988 sqft to 1,700 sqft* Spent $225K, with $150K on the basement and exterior, with the rest used for upstairs, furnishing and landscaping.

@Ben ClingerHi Ben, I just noticed your post.Toledo just clarified their inspection criteria for section 8 houses and decided they wanted their cake and to eat it too...we don't have to have an interior inspection (since LMHA inspects that during their inspection), but we DO have to pay for a Lead Inspector contractor to visually inspect the exterior of the house and of course we DO have to pay the $45 fee (which is of course what this is all about).LMHA of course inspects the outside of houses along with the inside so the whole lead inspection is redundant.

Updated backyard with artificial turf, painted entire exterior of home, replaced carpet with vinyl planks.
