I ALWAYS advise my clients to let us vacate the property first, then, depending on overall age and condition, at a minimum freshen it up with minor repairs, fresh coat of paint, and if necessary, inexpensive but clean and consistent flooring.

As some point, you need fresh money into a deal.  

You can look for ways to add value to the real estate agent and his business - you are a fresh set of eyes, can you see a system that can be improved?

Considering many DSCR loans take 60 days to close, 8% should have already been baked in to underwriting.

Hopefully the turn won't cost us too much and we can get off to a fresh start in the spring. 

I try to stay out of the "fresh out of mom and dad's house" population. 

If we were to start fresh with an empty duplex, would we be able to find tenants easily?  

A fresh coat of paint, new shutters, or landscaping can make a big difference.Consider the after-repair value (ARV): The cost of repairs should be in proportion with the potential value of the property after it’s fixed.

Start your own life fresh.

A previous property management company had posted a video on YouTube circa 2018 showcasing - what seemed to be - a fully renovated home, so I figured how bad could things have gotten that a fresh coat of paint can't fix, right?
