So a 100 unit apartment will be $25-30k to ensure you have money to fix big ticket items such as roof, HVAC, etc.And I'm not talking about the capex to fix deferred maintenance or to upgrade your property to match the surrounding comps.

Take 1.2M home and invest in some cosmetic upgrades to run the resale up to 1.8M seems to make sense.

In many cases buyers want to do their own updates, so they won't give you anything additional for the "upgrades". 

You can then decide what needs to be repaired/Upgraded up front and what can be deferred.  

Other than that, any rehab, maintenance, upgrades are entirely up to the Tenant Buyer or the the new Tenant Buyer.I never offer interest on the carryback.

It’s a 3 bed 2.5 bath, 1500 sq ft  finished (+ 450 unfinished basement for total of 1950 sq ft))  built 1997 with some upgrades.

Moving to another state, so need to move my house that needs repairs/upgrades (mostly cosmetic) but I'm not able to handle the work, or general contracting myself.Do any real-estate investors / flippers ever partner with home owners to do the repairs and improvements? 

Be sure to keep all that documentation throughout the repair process to ensure the insurance carrier reimburses you for loss of rents, unforeseen issues, & code upgrades. 

having a difficult time using both the brrrr and fix and flip calculator because i intend to live in the property for 1 year so not a rehab. these calculators seem to assume i won't live in the property. based on the factors below, i'm hoping someone can poke holes.arv=270krepair=my father who is a general contractor is overestimating at 35k (it's definitely livable, but there's opportunity to upgrade/update such as the roof, floors, cabinets). i'd live there for a year and plan to either flip or rent after the year.annual expected property tax=$7.5klisted price is around $235k ($/sq ft is below comp average)comps within the past year for similar properties around $260-$280kpreferred profit (not too sure about this) but $20k is a target...i guess.estimated rental based on recent is $1.8-1.85k/monthi was thinking about offering $210k max, but the calculators recommended an estimated purchase offer between $160-$175k, which seems extremely low given the livable condition.what am i calculating wrong here? 

His lease-option price is 275K, and with proper upgrades the house will be worth more than 600K ARV.
