In these early stages of learning and developing as an investor, I'm primarily focused on properties that may require the following: paint, flooring, bathroom/kitchen remodel, drywall, light fixtures, exterior landscaping, siding, or new HVAC.

Highlight any unique features like a backyard or updated kitchen.

It needs everything: all appliances, cabinets, flooring, tiling... everything.

For other items -- side tables, kitchen items, etc. -- you can buy lower quality and it won't matter. 

Updated kitchen but I’ll need to do floors and update bathrooms.

I see investors selling for $100k-$125k above purchase with full kitchen, baths, flooring, paint, etc rehabs.

The property is undergoing a light rehab (new paint, new LVP flooring, new toilets, new kitchen, new vanities etc).

One of my places had a little extra room next to the kitchen so we made a dedicated coffee area with a coffeepot, a drip setup, a french press and a pod machine.
