Someone had painted the face of Jesus on one wall (I thought it was the Zig Zag man...)

Some rough numbers , Price $520K add 15K closing = $535k  New windows and siding $40K = $575k overgrown lot and landscaping $5k =$580K  Kitchen , bathrooms , paint , flooring $60k ( on the low end) New deck it was rotten  $20K They are now in at $660K  This doesnt include holding costs and what ever I missed .

We have a line of credit that funds the rehab costs.  1, Form an LLC if you have not already. 2,Track all of your expenses accurately.  3,Talk to a CPA about what you need to track and how (Ex:  new appliances for a home are taxed differently than flooring or paint, insurance, Mileage, disposables, tools, etc.) 

-The house and garages have wood siding with peeling paint.

Paint front door.

Be aware that the lead paint laws require you to delead rental units within 90 days of closing in order to not be liabe for past tenants.

Full remodel otherwise with choosing a more attractive paint color.

The last wood deck I did we had some paint that had little pieces of sand in it to prevent tenants from slipping on the stairs and deck.

Painted whole home, new flooring, painted cabinets and new counter tops, finished basement.

New paint, flooring, trim.
