A simple power wash and / or exterior paint job can help for some older homes too...Don't waste your money putting berber carpet in this - you won't get that back ever.

I once had an inspector leave a pile of exterior masonite siding about 4 inches high.

Needs some light upgrades to the units and a face lift to the exterior.

More realistic, fair, and practical, would be 5%, which will lower the expenses by about $4,000 annually.If you're still with me at this point, here are some other details:  New exterior and roof on building.  

I may have to fix a few things such as fence and exterior painting.

A 3 bedroom 2 bath home has only one hvac system, one water heater, one garage door, 2 exterior doors, and no wood deck that will rot every 7-10 years.  

The entire house needs to be gutted, the entire exterior needs to be redone.

I amy be a bit biased, but after working with investors form all over the globe, the one thing I have learned is that the venture is largely hinged on the front end of the transaction that  utilizing a reliable higher local provider with sophisticated operations and systems not just plans of how they will help you acquire, repair and pas you along to a magnet company.

This will be my first time undertaking a project that requires substantial work (all new windows, kitchens, baths, re-configuring walls, electric, plumbing, roof, exterior), so lacking experience with such a project I would welcome any helpful feedback.  

or I might be able to get a line of credit tacked onto the loan after apparsail comes through which would make my cash needed about $30,000 but would change my number a little as well obliviously.ROI 18.4%Good thing is that roof is only 2 years old and the exterior is in great condition.Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
