We added a door that we deadbolt to separate our side from the airbnb side, and I had to have some electric outlets and an overhead light to the airbnb side, but other than that everything was updated already and we just had to furnish the property which was really nice and made the process pretty easy. 

I will balance this by purchasing hardware, light fixtures etc. on amazon.

Improvements might be a new light fixture, a ceiling fan, and or nicer blinds.

The guy who quoted 70K said that I should tread lightly because he sees many issues throughout the home potentially.

However, fees should mainly 'keep the lights on' for the sponsor.

We added value by re-doing the whole house, installed vinyl floorings, rebuilt 2 and a half bathrooms, re-painted the whole house, replaced all the hardware in the house, installed new lighting, ceiling fans, re-painted the kitchen, and completely remodeled the upstairs.

It needs some light updates, but there is a ton of equity I want to capture through a cash out refinance.
