Good thing since I can't build a deck or tape and texture for nothin'. 

We put no money down, then put $15,000 into repairs (electric, plumbing, pool deck) and over the past two years put another $10,000 into it (insulation, heating system, new windows) How did you add value to the deal?

They MUST have the tenants approved, in many cases the homes will require a upgrade... exterior paint, new decks, cut off the tongue, approved skirting, a dusk to dawn outdoor light... depends on the park really.

That deck probably 2500. 

In the upstairs apartment we did a new bathroom for $3,500 and then immediately rented the space for $1400 a month while we dumped $70,000 into the down stairs, including almost $20,000 on a completely new roof/joints/plywood decking/membrande/etc.

Seriously though, I know my way around a house from doing extensive work on my own (siding, windows, electrical wiring, insulation, extra insulation, fence, deck - on and on) and I do feel like my appraisal of needed repairs is reasonable.

I built the deck you'll see, cleaned the roof and gutters, caulked stuff the painter missed and almost got involved in replacing windows and some other fun parts of the task.

We created a Palm Springs inspired mid-century retreat by incorporating stylish finishes and fun elements like a flip-out window from the kitchen to the deck. and completed the renovation and sold the property in multiple offers nearly $100k over asking mid-Covid.

Massive 230m2 home with large open plan kitchen, dining and lounge opening onto the second storey deck with expansive rural and sea views.

The problem with houses that I buy are the door frames are solid old-growth wood, and the Dremel blade gets chewed up like nothing else, so it costs me probably $50/door frame in blades!
