Simple touches like fresh paint, landscaping, and clean walkways can make a big difference.Highlight Key Features: During the appraisal, point out any high-quality materials or unique features you've added.

I’ve handled almost every aspect of renovations myself—plumbing, tiling, painting, drywall, and general construction.

We installed fresh flooring throughout, updated the bathroom, and gave the entire property a fresh coat of paint inside and out.

The paint is never going to be perfect and its far easier to pick up on imperfections in a vacant house.

LL would have no incentive to paint, update flooring, etc.  

The exterior got a fresh coat of paint, and I added modern fixtures inside to attract buyers.

Both bathrooms need a complete remodel as well as the kitchen, the ceiling in 2 of the bed rooms are bowed (previous roof leak that was fixed) so new ceiling drywall, appliances, flooring, and paint throughout.

IT looks beautiful, I can only imagine the satisfaction you must have felt putting on that final coat of paint and saying "finally". 

Plus, you have to turn the unit over- paint, carpet, etc repairs?
