We will be adding a day light basement to their Studio House plan to capture views of the lake we are building on.

For you 1st property, probably a good idea to start with something that's more turnkey / light cosmetic work needed before diving into full renovations.

We passed, but even little things like  string lights or not having a grate over the fire pit were big concerns.Overall the numbers in Fredericksburg are staying the same compared to 2022 in my experience.

That extra cash flow isnt safety, its the market signaling with a big red flashing light, Risk.

I do not individually allocate for the small items but the maintenance/cap ex worksheet contained the reasonable costly stuff like you mentioned then had an entry for all of the small items (bathroom lights in some of my locations do not last 10 years). 

Leaving the front porch light un-caulked was one they loved to 'gotcha' on..... 

Grocapitus is great with marketing light on details. 

However, the risk of significant repairs is not to be taken lightly. 

Hi BP, i’m curious if anyone has moved an electrical meter without upgrading service. i recently upgraded a meter and was forced to move it to a new location however now i can’t pass inspection because the service enters the building before the meter (only good route to get to new meter was indoors) i really want to avoid a new electrical drophas anyone found a way to enter the building before metering?

I've seen rental units get leased with iPhone photos that have good lighting.
