So for credit, set a minimum but look at pattern of payment and Debt to income.   

Also, white granite countertops and wall tiles in the bath/shower. 

Hired out repiping and tile the kitchen/dining room, while we slept in the garage.

The current tenant says they have gotten the problem fixed but all that is required is some tile work and installing the new toilet. 

To the extent that a price reduction may make a "stale" listing appealing, worry not, you will get those notification emails on auto pilot anyways.Start doing the compare and contrast, maybe make a spreadsheet to evaluate opportunities, play a game of "spot the patterns." 

Even if you pay $300 labor and 150 materials each time, but the work is continuous, it can still be considered as series contracts (one contract after another within a period apart, even if you do 1-3 day a week/month, as long as it has a pattern, it could be considered as such).Thanks Manolo for all the advice, esp regarding WC.

so far, I line up, realstate/wholesaler/one recommended PM/ 2 contractors that work on flipping for other investors/ a few local millwork vendors / tile company and i also set up a meeting with the housing authority for the section 8 program4.

In IRS Chief Counsel Memorandum 202151005 (Dec. 23, 2021), the IRS evaluated two “general” fact patterns for short-term rental arrangements.

Not only do the colors make the photo pop, the pattern has a naturally calming effect on the mind and implies that your place is orderly in addition to being stylish! 

Full guts of the bathrooms, replacing all fixtures, throwing modern tile finishes for the tub/shower, new vanity, new cabinets in the kitchen, island, new stainless-steel appliances, new flooring throughout, new recess lighting, and likely new siding on the property to give it a more freshened pop for when it goes back on the market.
