No...the lender begins to pick apart the work that was completed by a licensed HVAC tech and the handyman that capped and painted the windows...then they note an 18" piece of trim on an exterior door that may have peeling paint...not in the appraisers report!

Some very rough numbers may look like this,  roof and gutters 10k, bath/floor 7k, kitchen 10k, paint patch 7k, floors 3k, windows 2.5k, hvac 7k (central air and furnace), electric  trim, lights 1 k, doors $200a piece (door and  hardware),  water heater and plumbing (excluding bath and kitchen above) $1,800, driveway ($10/sf for concrete), ceiling at basement $800,  demo $1000, electric,  water,  taxes,  holding costs,  etc .

For example some electrical stopped working in the house after I had paid thencontractors electrician at the time of construction to make sure all electricals were up to date to prevent such things from happening, we fixed that.. after that we noticed some leaking in a part of the home which we finally located the problem that the the contractor nailed trim with a nail gun and made a hole in a heating pipe which dripped slowly so no one knew anything until the damages were big, we fixed that.

There's tons of way to trim spending and those dollars saved can be directed into investments.

We typically see things come in around-basic level rehabs (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, paint, some minor wall patching) around $30 per sq-ft-mid level (same as above but with possible roof, siding, major system upgrades, ect) at $50 per sq-ft-full rehab including above but with framing, foundation, new insulation, new drywall, doors, trim, ect around $75 per sq-ft- rebuild, additions, add a level, ect $125 per footThere is no one size fits all and no two rehabs ever go exactly the same, there are always unforeseen things you find once you start working, but that should give you a ballpark. 

I use Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray with white trim.

Trim??

You don't want to drop granite if the area is low end for example or add molding or trim packages to the inside.

We've done about a dozen SFH's for rental and have standardized on just about everything, some examples: Formica counter tops (always the same color/style), the same RTA kitchen cabinets, inexpensive tile (from HD or Lowes) in kitchens, baths and sometimes hallways, NEVER carpet anywhere instead we go with hardwoods or laminate, use the same paint color on all walls and trim, the same replacement windows (when needed),builders/contractors lights (from HD or Lowes) ...the list goes on and on.

They are responsible for weekly mowing and trimming.
