. $30K should be more than enough for fresh paint and flooring and some other odds and ends, but if you need dry wall, cabinets, countertops, mechanicals etc it could get much pricier. 

It is still a hands on, dirt in your fingernails, paint on your clothes business.

People like to paint a pretty picture about how their investment is going. 

@Russell BrazilI just had an investor on a 4 unit property come back wanting $15k off price because exterior of house needs painting.

Not a major rehab - flooring, paint, and some misc. work  - not a full blown renovation.PS: I wish BP could really have a search function because the current one sucks. 

Apparently they have painted over it and it works fine....A third tenant recently asked me to come by to look at something in her apartment.

I had to have it paint it, as a result I had to have the rest of the doors painted in the unit so they all looks same color.( Most of Other doors chipped by them.)4. part of lock for my patio sliding door is missing, both the doors can’t be locked.

Rehab with the help of my family - Re landscape garden, painted inside, re grouted bathroom tiling etc.

Rehab wasn't too strenuous and i did myself with the help of my family - Re landscape garden, painted inside, re grouted bathroom tiling etc to freshen up.

Used equity in another property to limited by down payment to $6500, other cash put into paint and minor cosmetics How did you add value to the deal?
