that needed new everything on the inside (paint, bathrooms, kitchens, doors, most flooring) and had foundation issues.

But in Somerville we have a 1 bed going for $2500, if they trash that 2500 will do a whole lot more in terms of paying for new painting and patching.

Now obviously there are other factors that impacted those outcomes but all the houses were remodeled very well, with new flooring, paint, appliances etc.

Floors, updated kitchen, bathroom, paint, etc.

Based on the year the home was built, make sure all of the mechanicals are in order and that there is no lead based paint.

.$1500 to paint the whole house seems high to me, but only because I know I can paint a place that size myself in a couple of days. 

*new roof*interior and exterior paint*new flooring*updated electrical system*opened up doorway between dinning room and living room*all new kitchen (cabinets, stainless steal appliances, granite countertops)*trendy board and batten window shuttersThe top selling points were the beautifully tiled bathrooms and kitchen backsplash.

Purchase price: $77,000 Sale price: $109,000 House hack, no upgrades other than a little interior paint to cover up some oil stains and repainted the trim to the backdoor, and we put some mulch in the frontyard around the tree and under the shrubs.

Some of the larger expenses-Interior/Exterior Paint, Storm shutters for a few of the front large windows, added additional cabinets to one unit,  New refrigerator from Dent/Scratch store after old one died,  Laundry units that tenant pays +$50/mo for etc. 

It is a very nice home but dated and could also use some updating aside from the interior painting I've already done.
