I then recountered at 260k. 5k to at least try to get it resurfaced!!

When I bought my primary home, my wife and I did all the of these works " painting inside and out, resurfacing the cabinet, etc..."

Both upstairs bath cabinets painted & resurfaced, new 5inch laminate hardwoods through out the downstairs, new carpet upstairs, fresh paint throughout including baseboards & trim.

Hardwood can last forever and can be resurfaced indefinitely every few years for ~.75/sf. 

I've been to the property with a contract and we're looking at around 15k to make some desperately NEEDED repairs...one of the bathrooms nearly needs gutting, walls must be repaired, flooring is real wood but needs resurfacing.

Rent Scenario:-Estimated monthly rent:$4,500-$4,900 -Total mortgage/landscaper/pool man=$4,100-Potential to cash flow between $400-$800 a month-Principle monthly pay down of mortgage is $980 a monthAlso since this house was built in 1989 a lot of the big ticket items are coming to the end of the lifespan, such as:-New Roof Estimated cost: $25-$30K-Pool/Hot tub Resurfacing/new tiles: Estimated cost of $25K-New Fence: $7K-New Windows: $25KTotal Estimated upcoming expenses in the next 5 years=$85KWith all of that being said looking for input on whether to hold or just sell and move on.Here are some pictures of how it looks now

:)), it just creates more work including getting a permit vs. resurfacing the current bathroom.

One of the items I want to rehab is the driveway which needs asphalt resurfacing. 

I also thought it'd be good to get first-hand experience of how much effort certain things were to do.I've already done a few things in the past like:- Tearing out carpet and replacing the entire floor with wood laminate- Painting an entire interior- Painting kitchen cabinets- Resurfacing a laminate countertop with concrete- Replaced a toiletI'd like to learn a bit more, like:- laying tile- replacing a window- replacing a light fixture / switch- potentially retiling a portion of a roofWhile I don't see myself doing all these things for future investments, I think that having a good understanding of what it takes to do each one gives me good leverage and experience when negotiating with contractors.
