Plans are to just do cosmetic updates inside...paint, carpet...that sorta thing.

Example: a 1,500 SF house with an ARV of 130k that needs cosmetic work will require about $10/SF or $15,000. 

You should be able to do a cosmetic rehab and come out pretty good on cash flow.

I have learned a ton by performing some cosmetic repairs on the unit which was vacant, but becomes tough when at work for 12 hours/day.

Made bathrooms functional; refinished hardwood floors; lots of minor cosmetic work;Lessons learned?

Our unit needs a lot of cosmetic work, deferred maintenance and updates.

That means easy cosmetic rehabs or wholesaling.

Then renegotiate the offer or walk away.If it is cosmetic or handyman type stuff, I generally suggest they fix it after ownership because the owner is going to find the cheapest materials and most inexperienced labor to fix it.

Minor cosmetic repairs have to be made and there is a value add opportunity with the addition of a condenser for HVAC.

.- We completed minor cosmetic items as the building was only a few years old including paint and carpets.
