Cosmetic items are hard to quantify BUT they can absolutely turn off potential renters.I would say that I agree, to a certain extent, that you could look at other properties and then determine if you should fix the issues but our personal investment style is that we want our properties in tip top shape so we can get tip top rent so we attend to the small and large items.For example, we are getting $3200 for our single family rental in a market where comps are, at best, $2300.

This pandemic has changed the real estate market, but it is somewhat hard to quantify at this moment.
