How quickly it refreshes depends on the interface with the local MLS. 

It's refreshing to hear also that you've managed to be successful with properties that don't necessarily fall into the 1 and 2% "rule" categories... while I've seen many properties in my area that do meet those guidelines, I've also investigated others that definitely don't!

When i receive the OK just in case if i feel like i forgotten something i might go take a refreshing course.

ALso, if you are turning a place over every year, then each year the carpets get cleaned and the house gets a refreshing and deep cleaning that keeps it looking good.

A must read for all of those investors starting out and a good refresher for those pros out there that want to maybe pick up another pros view.

As a new investor myself, I find this forum very refreshing compared to a lot of the slick guru-types out there that want nothing more than to soak you for ever increasing wads of cash.My wife and I just started building our business in late October and are making some good progress, although it is turning out to be more involved than I originally thought it would be, at least from a financial standpoint.

While it's not measurable ROI, I really do have the feeling that (like I was blabbing about before) all the little things add up to longer tenancies, which reduce vacancy/refresh costs, and do produce ROI through that channel..

It sounds like that might have been the situation with @David Krulac , but should be able to get nice rents with a total refresh also..

I don't consider myself lazy for using them and there are tons of times that I go back and listen to chapters as a refresher (just like a book).

Even carpet/paint/refresh jobs go over that.50/50 is pretty common, but if you can get more, then do it.
