I assume your lease has something about maintaining curb appeal / cleanliness of the property.

1 Bed 1 ba condos can be difficult at times, making the design as unique as possible such as adding accent walls or expensive finishes throughout the home that matches your towns aesthetic/niche are valuable additions to smaller homes where you can't usually add a pool table or other amenities you would find normally in a house. 

Have a roll in capable shower with a seat...this is pretty aesthetically pleasing to provide with a glass door and doesn't need to be a tub with a door.

What features have you found boost your rental appeal, especially in off-peak months?

The appeal of a HomeVestors deal in Georgia to me is my familiarity of the area, and for what its worth, I get the experience and mangement of HomeVestors.

In most cases he tells you the obvious (stay out of bad high interest credit card debt) and he appeals to the masses in which permanent life insurance may not be a good solution (ie so term would be better for protection only).

The appeal of this deal lies in its low entry barrier and high potential return, made possible by your hands-on approach in sourcing and negotiating directly in the market.Financing the deal through both personal investment and banks offers a balanced leverage, while your approach to seeing potential in underappreciated properties maximizes value.

It sounds like wholesaling could be appealing due to avoiding some of those costs, but the margin is slim between your total investment and the ARV.

That experience, though frustrating, will only make you a stronger negotiator in future deals.Cosmetic updates were a good move to increase appeal without overspending, especially in a prime rental market.
