hi!  if I'm going to paint the same Agreeable Gray color on walls 4 years later, do I need to do two coats or will one suffice?  walls are in great condition with only a few minor nail holes and additional minor spark...

Fixed issues throughout the building, painted the garage, repaired all the porches, replaced bad doors, refreshed one apartment, completely remodeled another.

I've heard others say if you think your going to sell in the next 5-10years do it now.I personally have a property that had a terrible conversion from SFR to duplex that doesn't need $100K in repairs but could use refreshing I would estimate in the $30K range. 

If you are going to live there and then turn it into a rental, I wouldn't invest too much cash, but I would do a refresh.

If you take two homes that are identical, but one has been fully remodeled to a high standard and the other hasn't been refreshed since 1962, Zillow has no idea and will price them substantially the same.The bottom line is that Zestimates are worse than useless. 

While it's frustrating they didn't hire us to begin with, it's refreshing they appreciate our services and don't nickel & dime us.Regarding ratings, you're dead on - except you forgot to mention how the worst PMC's buy ratings!

get pre aprpoved to see what you qualify for. pre approval typically last for 90 days as thats when your credit expires. you dont necessarily have to rerun your credit to refresh depending on lender you work with. take action as you are as ready as you need to be. let me know if i can help in any way

I'm a builder, broker, and investor in Lodi, CA and relocating to Bend, OR.In Lodi, I have a large network of agents, clients, and subcontractors that I have built over the past 5 years and will be moving to a new market where I have almost no contacts.I plan to refresh my flipping, building, and RE business in Bend and start a property management company.Would love the community's thoughts, insights, and feedback on starting over in a new market. 

Listing noted both units are rented month to month at $1,350/mo each, which was on the lower end of the market.What I liked: (i) Location (nice B+ suburban area, close to the Villages and Orlando, 65%-35% own to rent ratio; that particular pocket had low to no crime and no registered sex offenders vs. other parts of town), (ii) Product type (3B/2B duplex with a garage, which is rare to find and is ideal for both a small family or a single professional with or without roommates; most duplexes on the market have no garage at all and are 1B/1B, 2B/1B, or 2B/2B), (iii) Age (2006, i.e. while it was on the higher end of my age spectrum it was less than 20 yrs old), and (iv) Upside potential - opportunity to bring rents closer to market post close (tenants were on month to month leases) and forced appreciation by performing minor refresh with some deferred maintenance expected due to age (roof, HVAC, heater).
