I like to maximize profit so I typically still do paint, carpet, fixtures, etc. 

Been using it for 15 years and find it easy to work with and paints a nice picture for where you have been and where you are going.

Hey BP - I don't think I've seen a comprehensive list on this forum, so I wanted to outsource this question to the community to see what works best for everyone.I buy rentals in the Midwest in C+ to B neighborhoods, and I'm always interested in saving money on flooring/painting/etc.So, what materials do you swear by for lower end rentals?

Hi all,

Don't have a property in mind for this but thinking ahead. If I bought say a 20 unit in MA/NH that needed de-leading what kind of grant money is out there?

Are the grants guaranteed or can you be refused?

I have a cash offer in on a 10 year old, 1069 sq Foot,  3/3 Townhome that needs more than a little work (Replacing the carpets and linoleum with laminate floors, sanding, minor patching, painting walls, and re-seeding a 500 sq foot back yard), but not a full rehab. 

Also had to do a lot of  paint and cleaning.

I have someone willing to lend me the closing and down deposit repayment terms 5 years. now when i run my numbers the property cash flows $544 monthly that 544 would go to the person lending me the money meaning first 5 years i would have 0 cashflow. is this a smart move or dangerous. i see it as since everything is fairly new and my current property manager manages this property as well i would add another duplex to my portfolio with 0 cost to me more details about the property below One furnace new in 2014Newer water heatersNew Roof 2015New Electrical service 2015Exterior painted 2015All New windows 2014New Kitchens 2014

It seems most banks are doing repairs like paint, carpet & appliances before listing the properties and pricing accordingly, which really eats into the flipper's profit.

I have seen the house in person and it requires minor cosmetic work (carpet, paint, fixtures).
