Conversely, if this is a modest neighborhood, you can go all-out on that kitchen with beautiful, expensive appliances, quartz countertops, etc., but the type of buyer that is looking for that house won't pay much extra for all those things.Having given that very important disclaimer, I'll give you my personal opinion on each of the specific items.

I'm picturing a nice yard with a long drive way that leads up to a detached 2 car garage (basketball hoop and all), next to a long brick house with 1100 sq ft, fenced in back yard, with a central air unit, inside you've pulled up the shag carpet to find hardwoods that you have redone, nice kitchen and bath, nothing fancy but newer flooring, newer counter tops and vanity (just rental grade), fresh paint, nice smell

I also did a full renovation, (top of the line everything, built-in fridge and dishwasher, marble backsplash and countertops blah blah blah).

We're doing the home nice though - Hardie siding, good windows, granite countertops, SS appliances, etc.

Just try putting together an estimate of the materials, tile, flooring, sinks, appliances, plumbing, drywall,tape mud etc. paint, driveway, electrical fixtures, locks, trim, faucets, cabinets, vanity, toilet,shower head, light bulbs,doors ,Knobs, countertops, landscaping...I suspect just in materials you will be close to 40k...do you need to replace windows?

But I am posting it here to see if I could somehow be right that this is pretty sweet.Set of Downtown Atlanta Townhomes For SaleNot the nicest neighborhood, not the worst -- lots of newer construction / single-family homes in the immediate area.Purchase price $250,000Price includes 10 units (each 2/2).Built in 2008, no renovations needed (so the owner claims).Hardwoods, granite countertops, stainless appliances.Rents are 8-900 / unit.Currently 80% occupied.What do you think BP experts?

maybe put a section on the forum for do it yourselfers . a place someone can go ask question that they are having with a project . maybe some of us have been through . not with purchising houses part lets say how to cut a counter top to repalce a fit in the counter top stove to a regular floor stove and etc...

You as an investor ...What interview questions would u ask a real estate agent to determine if you want to work with them  and make part of your team, you want someone that will not be telling you here is nice countertop which is of no value  to u as investor ...... you only want to hear  things of value investors want to hear about on any rental property u are considering and not trivial things like here is a nice SEPEARATE door entry for your pet 😀
