I think you're confusing the quantity of items with curb appeal.

Although the list may seem intensive, I look at it like this: The total cost of all these items can be much lower than the cost to repair a hidden surprise after purchasing a property to flip. 

A large ticket item could eat up the cash flow for years out.  

Have an itemized   Otherwise your bill will go out of control and you won’t know why. 

Due to item 1, adding an ADU can require years to start achieving any return (once the accumulated cash flow recovers the initial negative position).4) Adding an ADU is a slow process.

What were the biggest line items?

Some special assessments are already board-approved for 2025 and 2026 to help raise capital for such items, however I know when the time comes there will be a loan which likely demands a higher monthly payment for owners -- reducing my cashflow. - Based on sale of other units in the complex, I believe my current equity to be roughly $160,000, a little more than 50% equity. - The condo is currently leased through April 30, 2025. - August 2025 will be 3 years since I moved out.

The properties themselves often have flaws and outstanding cap ex items that are wrongly ignored.  

They make ordering items from different companies easy, and you get discounts from each store that has partnered with them. 

The item that I hate shopping for the most is dressers, and nothing else comes remotely close.
