I feel like I've just been sitting on my *** for 2 years doing remodels room by room.

Hey so I just closed on a property in Polk County FL my mortgage is $1535 average rent in the area is $1500–1800 I have a freshly renovated house with 3b 2 ba 966 sqft I listed it on the higher side since it’s remodeled for $2100 I only had one person reach out to me and they were telling me the price is to high and I have not had any applicants I just paid for advertising on Zillow today and I posted the property yesterday I cover water and the property comes with washer and dryer hooks, loose pet policy and there is a laundry mat directly behind it.

The challenge for Texas is you are competing against new and remodeled apartment complexes.

I started building in 2020 and prefer it now over remodeling in many regards.

Along with the complete remodel, those verified repairs ended up selling the house in about a week.

It's been a few weeks since I reached out but I am moving into the remodeling phase on my property.  

On repair costs, I've been advised in the past to use $15 sqft for moderate repairs and $30 spft for big remodels.

Purchase price: $55,000 Cash invested: $65,000 Sale price: $140,000 First complete renovation all but reframing--new electrical, HVAC, plumbing, complete bathroom and kitchen demo and remodel.

Full disclosure, I recently started coaching rehab for them since I have 20 years experience in remodel and design.

The Spokane market has been very good to me here and my contracting business focuses on mid-high end remodels and ADU conversions.
