Full rehab and upgrade.

One way to get tax benefits while you're living there could be installing solar panels or upgrading the energy efficiency of the home. 

If you're considering BRRRR, the FHA 203(k) loan could work for bundled purchase and renovation, but it’s often simpler to use personal funds for lighter rehab projects.You could focus on properties with strong rental potential and manageable upgrades to increase value.

@Jewell ArceneauxFrom my experience, focusing on impactful upgrades like kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and curb appeal yields the best results.

Also hoping that since it’s an 1 year old home, other than minor cosmetic upgrades like design, not much to do.

You are talking about a new water service line upgrade right?

Many things like electrical can often be upgraded.

When the transaction closes, the purchase is funded, and we set aside additional funds in an escrow account to pay predetermined professionals to make any required or desired repairs or upgrades to a property AFTER the buyers settle on the purchase transaction.

I’ve been with Tardus for 6 months and upgrading to VIP status.

Plus, living in the property gives you the unique advantage of understanding it inside and out.. making you a better landlord when you eventually rent out all the units.If I were you, I’d prioritize properties with room for rent increases or small upgrades that could boost value.
