I also provide picnic table which is much appreciated by the tenants and cost $150.Privacy fences are good too.Inside again it depending on the condition, fresh paint, new light fitting, granite top banchtop @ $600 and paint the kitchen cabinets adds great value.

(house only had one bedroom total before, on second floor)-painted entire house/ kitchen cabinetsWe hope to have the new appraisal of this house at $156,000 or above, based on the principal of our HELOC will be at $125,000 in April of 2019 which will be one year after the closing an will give us 20% equity in the property. 

From what i understand it will need a full gut, new electrical, new plumbing to replace copper pipes missing, new drywall since electrical and plumbing needs replaced, along with probably new flooring throughout, paint, kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity and tile...

Paint the doors a bright contrasting color.

Touch up paint, cleaning, bulb replacement, and basic things generally need to be finished.

I have a SFH in the New Haven-area that is need of painting.

Prior to moving into my unit, I did a small $10k remodel (floors, kitchen, paint) and plan to do the same to the other unit at some point to get top dollar for rent on each side when I decide to move out.I am interested in what people would suggest my next move would be.

Only advice I receive is to hire someone paint the wall and clean the carpet.

I was just trying to paint a picture showing the reason seller financing was pretty much my only option at this point.

It can range from a quick paint and flooring job for $5k and it could be $150k.If I had pictures I could at least give you a ball park but an on site inspection is the best
