Cut the grass, trim trees, keep the roads usable, a nice sign out front... are there any other aesthetics that you feel has a + ROI, either by keeping/obtaining tenants or raising rents?

Like right now the exterior trim needs some work on our oldest property, and we're planning on vinyl instead to save time and maintenance down the road.

He asked why the carpets were pulled up and blood stains on the trim haha.

In my experience, if I don't have a property put back together in 6 months then I'm probably looking at other options anyway.Yes, this insurance "package" does look somewhat standard - as in the coverages are pretty much dictated by the carrier and tied together like a trim package on a car.

Has anyone added interior molding or trim work to existing vinyl windows?

He now wants to paint all the trim on house for another $150, this job would take me may be 10 to 12 hrs and I am under a time crunch to get this place done by Aug 1st.

WorthQuiet, older neighborhood with lots of rentalsAsking price $48K, was marketed as a triplexI offered $30K cashDOM 7They countered $40K cash and a short closing date(10 days)I was able to do my own inspectionsDiscovered 4 kitchens and 4 bathrooms.Needs trees trimmed, roof, minor interior repairs and cleanup.Should be worth $80K-$100K when finishedI uncovered a city lien against property for grass cutting(they had to pay for)During title work a federal lien was uncovered(they had to pay for)We closed on the last possible day at 4:00pmObservations:I used a buyers agent to represent myself.

Take the time to paint the trim, as well as the kitchen and bathroom walls with semi-gloss for easy cleaning.

For me I found that it is easier this way because we constantly have projects waiting to get started I try to plan that no more than 2 weeks before the next project is started usually less than 1 week but you know how things go.With a general contractor the will bid the job do the job as they are working on other projects as well and then when things they quoted you are done thats it, it doesn't matter that the doors need trimmed because the carpet and pad are too thick, that the outlets need to be changed because now they look bad on a freshly painted wall, if it wasn't in the original qoute it is extra and they may not be able to get back to it for 2-6 weeks as they are already scheduled for their next job.

So years later here I am trying to compose an ad for a grey (white trim) asbestos sided house with wide shutters and a low pitched roof I redid 2 years ago headlined it "Nantucket style Avenues Cottage".
