At some point, either after a 3-5 year single tenant stay or after x number of tenants, you do have to spend a decent amount of funds to keep a property looking "fresh" enough to get +95% of market rent..

The only upgrade I made to the condo while there was a fresh paint job that was done by my generous brother-in-law FOR FREE (minus materials) and the epoxy I handled myself in the garage.

 If I could go all the way back to the years when I was fresh out of college and start over knowing what I know now, I would actually go to grad school then start a career in a field that I enjoy working in that also pays well. 

Fresh coat of paint, new LVP flooring, landscaping, fixtures, some basic service, and deep cleaning- It was a total of $14,091, and it was from my pocket.

Bathrooms are actually the best to put more money into then the kitchen, because people want a bathroom to feel fresh and clean.

My purely hypothetical car wash mortgage client has 3 vending machines full of vastly overpriced car detailing stuff (next to a physical bulletin board showcasing some shiny freshly detailed sexy cars...), and one with snacks at normal vending machine markups (buys either at Costco, or whatever he finds on sale).GL.

It’s fresh, no wear and tear, etc and the market is high right now as to home prices, etc.I think you need to ask yourself if you want to be a landlord or not.  

I have had luck in the past with my realtor pulling the listing for a week or two, freshing up the listing and relisting at the same rate and getting it rented quickly.  2.5 weeks doesn't seem un-reasonable to me. 

Hi guys, my name is Vanessa and I am a recently licensed agent fresh out of Florida State University.

Fresh landscaping, new paint, new layout, add a bath, a room, a garage, finish the basement, new roof, kitchen etc are just some ways to add 20,30,40K to the value with sometimes minimal investment.
