Hello,We just finished remodeling a house in the twin cities and we have an inspection to rent it.The inspector said that we were not supposed to change the vanity and the outlet by ourselves.

And while that depreciation may be disguised by inflation, or area price increases, money does need to be spend as systems such as HVAC need replacement, roofs need to be replaced, and capital expenditures such as kitchen remodeling are needed for the asset to be rented at a profitable rental rate.

Hi All, We are doing a home remodeling project, and our GC has done a poor job.

A 2/1 in Hagerstown was getting almost $2,000 (Newly Remodeled) now we're down to $1,600 plus.

Complete remodel, redid or replaced all flooring, plumbing, electrical, new roof on the garage and retied all the windows.

You could even use this strategy with your extra cash to buy in cash, do light remodel, and then cash out refinance most if not all your equity. 

I then went ahead with the light remodel as planned and my wife and I moved into one of the units.

The house is rough, but we have experience remodeling and have a GC and an Amish crew ready to go. 

A complete house remodel and design.

For example the 13 plex should generate $11-12k in gross market rents but has 50%+ occupancy due to a recent remodel.
