The key for me was flooring, paint, countertops, appliance refresh.- Budget was $8k per unit on average and I rehabbed the first unit after an eviction- When a lease would expire, I would offer the renter market rent without a move or to move to my rehabbed unit at market rent. 

New builds, addition, refresh an 80's house, build an ADU, ... all different skill sets/markets here.

Thank you for the refreshing, direct, no frills answer.

He suggested continuing to take the $7000 per month for now and just being ready to refresh the refinance if something comes available I want to buy because interest rates are so high.

e.g. the only possible way you can make a SF cash flow is by buying distressed (not just a light cosmetic refresh), but I see some investors want a turn key @ 15-20% down; there's some disconnect somewhere. 

But a few years ago they turned into BS and I stopped watching. maybe that is what happened to them popularity has dropped and they need a refresh ?

It's refreshing to speak with someone in the legal arena that has knowledge and understanding tax sales and foreclosures.

That's very refreshing to hear Jessy.

As of today, we have merely purchased the home and refreshed the interior with new paint, trim, and fixtures. 

(like I did) I felt like a zombie taking the test and although I passed the first time I felt I didn't do as well if I were refreshed.#5 If you are taking the online course buy the book Real Estate Principles Practices and Law by Linda Crawford and go over the entire book.
