They are in bad need of cosmetic upgrades and can sustain a rent increase (avg. rent comps for rehabbed unit are $800).  

It's not uncommon to invest $35,000 in a property needing cosmetic repairs,  fix then rent it for $650 to $700.  

The property was purchased through HUD and will need cosmetic repairs to get it ready for rent. 

Not to be cliché but you don't want a podiatrist doing your heart surgery.

Looking for a reputable GC for a small cosmetic rehab on a rental property in Katy, TX (west Houston). 

Rough ballpark I would expect to spend about $20/sf to do a full cosmetic rehab with basic materials (kitchen, baths, floors, paint, fixtures, etc.)If you separate it out, I would say maybe $5k for typical bathroom gut, $10-15k for kitchen gut.What area of Dallas is this in?

I don't know if you are handy doing cosmetic work like painting, cleaning up yard etc?

It needs some cosmetic work and should be up and running within a month. 

It has a brand new roof and rafters, updated electrical, excellent siding, big city lot, and a public bike trail right behind their back yard… Most of the fixes would be cosmetic, but it could possibly need a new furnace, and there is some light water on the floor in the basement, so I would need to potentially change some of the grading arou the house and/or add some eaves.
