Example would be for a SFH fixer upper in grandma condition:   $10k for demo and permits and prep, $10k for wall removing and layout revising, $10k for basement framing, $10k for drywall, $20k for paint, $30k for flooring, $20k for kitchen, $20k for baths, $20k for any MEP upgrades, $10k for trim work, $10k interior finishes 

The home was a big interior and exterior clean up with minor construction.

Wall and Trim ColorsFor the interior walls, we’re considering using Sherwin-Williams “Snowbound.”

Plenty of listings with cell phone pics showing basic interiors in my market have the top 10% trophy and well-populated calendars.

Painting in the interior saved at least $4k.

Thats another tactic;  low ball bidding, then cost increases mid-project.A 3/1 or 3/2 rehab keeping the 3/2 exterior walls but moving interior walls;   Maybe $110k

Can I ask about your interior paint colors?

Basically you need to be able to pay a large part of a long-term (multi-year) lease up-front, then still have some cash for renovation and interior/furniture, to finally recoup the investment through STR and a hopefully very quick way.

I follow a checklist in order to get rental properties up a certain standard: - The interior and exterior paint should be free of excessive wear, smudges/dirt and preferably in neutral colors.

These improvements included updating essential systems, modernizing the interior, and enhancing curb appeal, all of which dramatically increased the home’s market value and buyer appeal.
