Duplex up the 3rd floor 2br 1ba into a 3br 2ba duplex unit refinishing the attic into a master suite with a spiral stair case oh and sky lights yes everyone loves sky lights that was a must haha Market rate rents as per MLS comps and personal experience leasing in neighborhood.

They are in fine structural shape, but are probably due for a refinish. 

You are seeing some people go back with high end finishes such as granite, refinish hw floors, new shaker cabinets, etc. 

My initial rehab process was I did a number of repairs myself, and then sought out a contractor for the specific task I wanted to hire out (ie Robert @ Southern OR Wood Floors does fantastic hardwood refinishing).

The door that is in there is an antique that was hand refinished with the window reglazed.When I asked if he had met them personally and thought they would be good tenants, he said he only met them at the lease signing and didn't think they were off, but no one in their right mind is going to show up with their shirts off and looking bad to a lease signing.

It needed a kitchen (there was a sink on a box with a faucet attached) and the wood floors needed refinishing.

refinish on the hardwoods, new carpet, the works.

Can you paint or refinish the cabinetry and change the knobs and handles to get the new look?

You could probably refinish for less than $100.

We find $28,000 might get you a top grade roof, gutters, new windows, molding, great paint job including closing costs etc. but more like $50-$60k for new kitchen (granite/stainless appliances/tile)...maybe a bath and refinished hardwoods.
