I will need to pay out of pocket for visible items like paint, the shower, toilet, vanity, kitchen cabinets, wardrobe, and so on.

Usually people with good credit, income, can get funding for light, cosmetic rehabs (kitchens, baths, paint, landscape).

Enhancing the exterior with fresh paint, landscaping, new siding, or an upgraded front door can create a strong first impression.

Here's kinda what I have: (I usually really front load properties with alot of repairs and painting so that it pushes alot off into the future)+ Gross rent- property management 10%- vacancy rate 5%- cap ex savings (250/ month?)

I learned how to handle minor house projects while husband was working, saved tons off hiring people for minor but labor intensive projects like painting, window screening, changing locks, etc.

When I hired the PM in April, we did a small redesign including light painting, replacing light fixtures, adding a few amenities and other small touches that I also included in this cost.

The property management company has developed a plan to meet this requirement:a) cleaning all windows troughs and sills, scraping and painting of window troughs and sillsb) scraping and painting of all previously painted floor surface that is chipping or peelingc) scraping and painting of any exterior paint that is chipping or peeling including garage decks and house d) scraping and painting of all exterior door thresholds and jams Their estimated to complete this pre-inspection repair work is $500.The certification inspection is $350City filing fee $50Property management coordination fee $50I need to know if this certification is mandatory or not, maybe Cleveland realtor and property manager on Biggerpockets could answer me and clarify my doubts.Let me know pleaseThank you very much

Even modest upgrades (kitchen, bathroom, fresh paint) can make a big difference without requiring a major financial investment.

New windows and doors, new kitchen, updated bathroom, new HVAC, new flooring and paint and finished the attic with flooring and heating/cooling.
