For background, I'm partnered with an architect and interior designer, but I'd have to find most of the subs as I don't have any formal connections (at least in the area I'd like to build).

I updated the electrical, painted everything, and “cleaned the property up nicely” exterior and interior.

Licensed with permits ~$4,000.Full replacement of all water supply lines and shutoffs from the interior water meter with PEX and an open basement.  1 kitchen 1 bath 1 laundry. 

Rehab Scope:Cosmetic remodel: Painted the interior/exterior, updated the kitchen cabinets and countertops, and installed new flooring.Modernized fixtures: Replaced light fixtures, outlets, and switches throughout.Enhanced curb appeal: Painted the brick exterior, added landscaping, and modern black accents.Timeline: Completed the rehab in just 4 weeks to minimize holding costs.Strategic Upgrades: Focused on cost-effective improvements like vinyl flooring and fresh paint, wh What was the outcome?

I do not think it would cost too much to tone it down howeverI got a $10k quote (minus fees) from an interior decorator recently to redesign.

Again i believe it is my best estimate of actual sustained maintenance/cap ex in my market.I did an estimate about 1,5 years ago on a emerald coast 3/2 condo with class a interior finishes and came up with $300 for just the interior (class a finishes cost more).  

So, I would only recommend doing it when there are synergies to take advantage of such as the partner having a skill like HVAC, interior design, accounting, etc. 2.

Purchased for $69,000, I tackled everything from a new roof to interior updates, transforming it into a move-in-ready home.After months of surprises (and a few headaches), I sold the property for $145,000.

We invested $55,000 in key renovations, focusing on modernizing the interiors, improving curb appeal, and ensuring the property met market expectations.

Why they need to inspect the interior when the exterior is pristine remains a mystery, but we don’t make the rules.
