I have done projects on our properties (primary and investment) that range from "refreshing" by doing simple things like painting, putting in new light fixtures, and small remodel projects to full "gut" remodels where I replace/remodel every square inch of the home.

Your enthusiasm and ambitious goals are certainly refreshing to see!

What a refreshing, radical and disruptive thinking from the norm.  

Hello everyone,Refreshing a post from 2-3 years ago about best, most affordable property managers in OKC.

I think the same concept holds true, wiring systems from 60-70 years ago are due a refresh if the rest of the house is getting one anyway.

Added a bedroom in the main house, new flooring, and cosmetic refreshes in the main house.

In summary, the main building:1) will need to be tented for termites/ants,2) will need basically two full bathroom renovations (floor around one toilet is a bit soft and rotted some of the joist down below, and the other bathroom is an addition that looks like it also might not have been built to code bc has really tight spacing and has a huge crack in the walk-in shower that basically just drains water out into the crawl space below the house and the floor under that area is just totally rotted out),3) would need a refreshed kitchen (sink drain plumbing is in need of repair and at a minimum would need new countertops but likely new cabinets as well)4) they recommended earthquake bracing to the foundation since it’s almost a 100-year-old house and reinforcing part of the cripple wall down below5) found a clog (or at least an area the camera couldn’t get past) in the sewer line.

Walk there on the days you can't drive, or sleep in a tent and call uber for delivery of needed items.As your stock depletes refresh it.

It's also fascinating that you have plans to venture out to Costa Rica for additional properties.It's refreshing to hear that your motivation for real estate investing extends beyond just financial gains.
