Paint, floors, bathrooms, general maintenance, landscaping What was the outcome?

For example my simple spruce up would be, renno bathroom, and kitchen, paint, and redo carpet upstairs.But if i think real deep into what I could do to make it a STUNNER then I think, knock down walls, create more open/broken floor plan, add central air, possibly do an addition to add a 3rd bedroom and second bath.So when you could do ANYTHING .. how do you draw the line of what you should do?

Painting in the interior saved at least $4k.

I’m not super keen on having long-term tenants in a single-family home in California, but I’m open to advice on that.The house is in decent shape but could use new flooring, a paint job, and potentially heating and/or central AC, as well as blocking/taking out the existing fireplaces (don't love the idea of fireplaces in a rental). 

Quote from @Michael Baum: It is amazing what you can find in thrift stores and the like.This ^^^^ I never bought a new painting/or piece of art.

   $100k would be tight.A 3/2 -- 3/2 no walls moved;   $90k is possibleA rental rehab;  lipstick, no HVAC or roof, keep everything, paint kitchen cabs and scrub up bathrooms. 

I watched my parents flip houses since I was little and have always been on job sites or made "pocket money" by doing chores like painting fences or washing kitchen cabinets, which I realize now my parents were putting us to work to build that sweat equity.

Currently looks like some small cosmetic exterior painting is needed on word parts and windows. 

Can I ask about your interior paint colors?

Once dried out in a day or so, we send out a vendor to replace, patch, paint the ceiling where it is damaged.
