We have currently repainted, added LVP and LVT floors to the kitchen and bath respectively, replaced the furnace, and updated wiring, outlets, and fixtures throughout.

Assume 3k to repaint interior. if you paint every turnover your repair budget for painting is $3000/20= $150 per month.

did knock down ceilings, repainted the interior of both units, cleared out the back yards, added new vanity and vinyl flooring in one unit What was the outcome?

Used cabinets aren't going to be as cheap as you think, especially if you end up refinishing or repainting them.

Simply made it another bedroom, gutted kitchen, bathrooms, replumbed (poly-bute pipes suck), refinished pool surface, LVP on all flooring and repainted.

Two story rewire 1500 house $19000 + then patch it all back and repaint $3000.

Lawn, trees, shrubs, driveway oil spot removal, repaint exterior, etc..When the inspection report comes back, I'd rank things according to "Must do now", ie leaky roof, concrete walkways heaved up--trip hazards, bad water heater, etc..I'd get some bids on these items (and ask about financing them if needed).Then get them done.The next items on the list would be looking at each apartment make a punch list of what needs to be done to turn the units for the next set of renters, carpets, LVP, paint walls, ceilings trim, etc...Then see what workers and material are available, and if one apartment can be done quickly and the other takes a long time, do the quick one and rent it out while waiting on supplies or workers for the second one.

I've fixed all the issues, tore up the peel and stick and refinished all the hardwoods. repainted, refinished cabinets, working on the deck now and eventually painting the exterior. it's WORK. but it's worth it and keeps me busy, lol. it's a home and a project.

Repainted the entire interior, replaced the exterior trim around the home, caulked where necissary, additional sheet rock was needed in some places, and power washed the exterior of the home.Lessons learned?

Full house repaint and brushed nickle door and sink hardware.
