Share leases, co-op on painting, etc.

Examples included missing paint and rotting siding.

If you go the wood framing route you will have to rip the joists that sit on the concrete because garage floors are built with a slope (for water runoff).

Then NACA asked for one more thing which essentially required her to rip out everything she had done as part of the renovation in the basement. 

Correct, I have housemates to help with living expenses; however, I am not really using the BRRRR method because my renovations are cosmetic (changing light fixtures, furniture, paint, small fixes).

I did take an extra day between my last guests because we had to swap out a water heater and do some touch up painting.

Maybe little signs or spray paint numbers?

Fresh paint with the baseboards and trim in gloss white.

New LVP flooring upstairs to replace all the carpet, new cabinets and countertops in the 2.5 bathrooms, new fiberglass shower in the guest bathroom, new walk in shower (tiled) in the master bathroom, next lights/sinks/faucets/toilets/etc in all bathrooms, new paint on kitchen cabinets, new pulls on kitchen cabinets, new ceiling fans throughout, and fresh paint throughout.

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 .
