@Yin YangHi Yin,I’ve got a great GC/interior designer that I’ve worked with on three projects (one bathroom addition, two full gut jobs) in Sacramento area.

Yes my two plans are selling for 40k profit or rent with a decent cashflow (but as of right now i would have 10% or $40k locked into the deal if i rent)Its a 2009 1300 sq ft that only needs interior paint, kitchen paint, and fixtures.

Craig's list and eBay over time DIY (who knows).....Upscale heavily decorated costs money.In many cases DIY can save about 50% in labor, but high end unique things will require workers with specialized (more costly) skills.To get the Look you want, the best way to accomplish a tied together "Feeling" is to get with an 'Interior Decorator" or Architect who does this style, and bounce the cost questions off of that person.There is no way to tell....is the animal skin bead spread $30 from a yard sale or $3,000 at Nordstrom's carpet department in Seattle?

needs small wood railing added to entrance steps to avoid fallssmall mold/mildew patch in bathroom ceiling above shower needs to be removed and repaired needs retrofit bathroom exhaust fan to avoid recurrence of mildew ^downstairs needs interior re-painted (average cost?)

Featuring updated electrical, new appliances, new interior/exterior paint, new millwork, & thoughtful finishes throughout.

I need to paint the home interior and exterior to pass testing.

We don’t know when this was built but most likely the building codes are new and this won’t hold up if you make it an interior space to be part of the house.

Is the cost of painting (interior only) a rental property deemed an expense that can be entirely deducted in that year?

I have been in the real estate world for about 2 years now working with a property management team and running my own interior design business for STR.

Whether that’s price, location, interior, or a combo of all I don’t know, but either way it’s only as good as the historical data and methodology.
