It is a twin.Last sold '08 for 96k Zestimate 140k (Id put it more in the 100-115k range ARV)From a drive by as well as the listing pictures this is an estimate of work needed:Roof (its a twin...1500 square foot 2 story..so not a huge roof) Assuming all new flooring Low end appliances Low end kitchen cabinets possibly (smaller kitchen) Clean up property/ Repair/repaint walls Extras/unforeseen due to not walking through yet TOTAL ~20K rehab costs (could be more or less...but for conversations sake to see what numbers work)I am prepared to buy and hold as a rental in the $900-1100 range.

I'd like to repaint the kitchen cabinets, add hardware to them, and add a nicer faucet.I could also add a bathroom to the basement fairly easily, but I'm not sure how useful this would be as there are currently no bedrooms down there.I'd love to hear anyone's opinions or ideas on the strategy that may be most beneficial. 

I plan to repaint the interior and replace some vinyl flooring.

Among all the regular requirements for documentation, TD Bank, after their appraisal, notified me of the following condition:Final inspection prior to closing for ALL DAMAGED WALLS AND CEILINGS TO BE SCRAPED AND OR SANDED AS NEEDED AND THEN RE PAINTED.

A year and a half into our residency there was a fire caused by one of our neighbors that resulted in a 6 month renovation due to asbestos contamination that included the apartment walls being repainted and our nice carpet being switched out for really cheap, crappy carpet. 

Hard living was the term used by our insurance company; entire house carpet had to be replaced (see image and imagine 1700 sq feet of that), walls & doors were used as children's personal canvas which resulted in repainting & staining of entire house, closet doors were off &/or damaged, siding was hanging off of the outside of the house in several places, thermostat removed, gas meter removed due to illegal gas consumption, drawer/door hardware missing or damaged, damage to garage doors, etc.

When I rehabbed it, I had to pressure wash the old paint because it was pealing and then repaint it.

Repainting: Make sure the walls, ceilings and closets are cleaned, sealed and then painted.

It only needed touch up in a few wall areas and baseboards but the prior paint was flat and it was advised that I repaint with semigloss to avoid similar wall paint cleaning issues in future.

Also keep in mind that if you do anything with the windows you'll want to repaint them for LBP compliance.$600 in that area isn't bad for a 1 bedroom -- Civil Life is a border area that is lagging the rising rents a bit farther north in the TE South area but is also on the uptick.
