Some of the damages include ~$7,800 of missing property, kitchen cabinet doors ripped off, a mangled chandelier, a damaged refrigerator, divots from a claw hammer in the granite, and urine and feces stains on rugs, furniture, and hardwoods from an unauthorized puppy.

An Oven and a fridge in the kitchen.

Next one I replaced the HVAC, the kitchen appliances, a little furniture.  

Think areas where there aren't too many cooks in the kitchen already.

And a nice rehabbed cash flowing house with a new roof, hvac, driveway, LVP floors and updated kitchen and bathrooms.

As an alternative you could look for a walk-out, lock-off basement and add a small kitchen/kitchenette down there to have your own space away from your housemates.

It’s a small single family three bedroom one bathroom unit, I bought it for cheap and plan on renting on the higher scale by making minor improvements such as flooring, fresh paints and of course new kitchen and bathroom

I installed too thick of underlayment which caused the floor to not float like it should in my kitchen.

We're looking to renovate something before the end of the year to accomplish 2 things: 1) Improve home value so we can get appraisal, refinance and leverage that to buy a new property. 2) Take advantage of the tax credits that are out there in 2024 before the new year or is it better to wait until 2025 and just hold onto the cash I have at hand.Here is a list of renovations that will need to be done eventually:*Brand new basement kitchen (cabinets + add seating area - we already have brand new dishwasher, fridge, gas oven)*New standing shower in the basement bathroom*New Siding*AC/Furnace for unit 1 are close to end of life but still functioning*New Fence/landscaping*New Windows for the basement*New Garage (unstable, concrete shifting, very old)*Solar Panels on the roof (There is a $0 down payment lease option w/ sunrun, but I'm hesitant to move forward)*Renovate master bedroom closet for tenants (it is old & has built in entertainment center that is very dated)*Repair Catch basin*Adding better drainage system for back door.Greatly appreciate any help, insight or advice!

Then I get the prospective clients making 6 figures on their regular job but they're still swapping out doors on kitchen cabinets or fixing toilet guts in the evenings and can't see the forest through the trees yet.
