Then I read a book that said show your best interior picture first, so i switched it, and voila it worked out fine.

Purchase price: $82,500 Cash invested: $10,000 Sale price: $115,500 This was my first home purchase, renovations we completed included re-doing the upstairs floors to all tile, having the basement waterproofed with an air purification system, having basement walls secured with an anchoring system for stability, adding a new rear retaining wall & exterior lighting, and having full interior repainted.

Curb appeal, lighting, possibly security cameras, solid core or decorative metal doors with deadbolts and security screen doors, interior painting that is not one color on everything, accent walls in main living area and primary bedroom, cabinets and closets painted white on the interior, flooring limited to one or two designs throughout the unit, and no carpet, windows and screens fully operable and clean...all of this will elevate your unit vs. most of the others in such a neighborhood.

There were multiple service packages - inspection only, inspection plus interior, plus exterior, plus 100% I don’t want to worry about it.

In addition we gave the interior a fresh coat of paint along with updating some of the plumbing and electrical for compliance.

So, if you want the best deal, find a place with all major capital expenditures (roof, AC, furnace, siding, foundation) taken care of, but could use new flooring, interior paint, cabinets, and bathroom finishes.

Thank you for taking the time to write the long post .Truth sucks.I have reduced the rent to 1750 to see if my house picks up.I will see how it does in the next week or so.The fees which you referred to is collected by the property management company and I couldnt control that .I thought it would be easy to maintain the property through a property management company.All the property managers around SA charge the same which i cross verified.But it proves otherwise .They never mentioned about these fees when I signed up or neither was it in the contract .I know the pictures dont have the rooms labeled.But there is a virtual tour with all the rooms.I will make the changes that I can possibly make.The builder didnt offfer any other upgrades.The house was fixed price with all the interiors same in the whole neighbourhood.I couldnt add or change anything.

Full painting throughout interior and exterior.

Built in 1952..... even the interior walls are curved.
