They ended up making a deal with them where they resurfaced the parking lot in exchange for renewing early. 

Fishtown is wonderful, and whoever got involved in the Fishtown area before its resurface of recent years is a savvy investor and most likely sitting pretty.

My other quick fix is painting/resurfacing cabinets, and adding new knobs can make a huge difference. 

It will need some future work to the land itself because the road is gravel and truly needs to be resurfaced, I received a quote for 1,200 to resurface with new gravel.

I can't remember exactly what we spent since it was a lot of sweat equity but we painted the interior, exterior, replaced counters, vanities, carpet, resurface hardwood floors, re sod the backyard, landscaped, new roof (got the insurance to pay for it) and custom closet.  

this one actually came a few weeks ago. it's an interesting story.i was on vacation with my son in florida while my wife stayed back during the xmas holiday to rent out 3 houses. we had just fired our agent who we used to just list and show the houses on the MLS.anyway, while i was in florida i saw a 2k sq ft house in livonia that had an in-ground pool. the house showed super rough and the pics were terrible. it was listed for 189.9ki texted my wife and said "go and buy this house". she called the agent and he said "been on the market for 3 weeks, no calls. has 5 bedrooms".we had been looking for a long time for a larger home for us and she jumped at the chance to see it. it ACTUALLY Has 6 bedrooms, not 5. the listing was wrong.i offered 100k, no inspections. they came back at 132. we settled on 122k, pulled a loan so that we could preserve the rest of the cash for the future purchases. closed 4 weeks later (mid february)ARV on this house is close to 230k.I knew i could not start working on this house until about June. i also knew that it would take about 30-40k to fix it how i want it fixed for us to move in there, so that meant we could move there in august.2 weeks ago we went out to dinner and while driving i had an epiphany. i told my wife, "we will rent this house AS IS, no updates besides filling in the pool for $1,300. rent it for 1 yr, while the MLS dries up". this house updated could rent for $1,800-$2,100 per month.she texted immediately tenants in #4 and offered to them to move in this large house since they need the extra room. they signed a 2 yr lease last week and they are ECSTATIC.I will rent #4 and increase the rent from $1,100 to $1,300 since they have been there for 4 yrs.the tenants already resurfaced the floors at #25, will put pergo in the living room and change carpet upstairs. here's the pool - all 41k gallons of it. 2" pump is about to pump it out.here it is uncovered, pumping away.here is my concrete guy who is filling this pit as i type.the moral of the story.... just have multiple options. and be patient. is it nice to have a huge house so that you can spend 10s of thousands to fill it up with furniture?

Purchased from wholesaler for $73,734 on 12/31/2014Repairs  $27,668 that's $20.49 psf which included new carpet and tile, paint, molding, bathroom cabinets, resurfacing tubs, new ceiling fans, lighting, doors, faucets, handles, granite counters, backsplash, appliances.  

Now, if you do a full cosmetic rehab where you are basically resurfacing existing surfaces and painting, your talking in that $15-20 k range depending on sqft.
