Leveled house- exterior paint, fresh landscaping, added privacy fence, interior paint, new windows, new mini split heat pump system, painted kitchen cabinets, new counters and hardware, new bathroom vanities and toilets, expoxied baby blue bathtub and tile surround white.

If you want to raise capital from investors you also need to be compliant with the SEC and state blue sky laws.

You made a great point, even with blue prints in my experience, even with crazy due diligence, shooting the worst case scenario (I would say, I am a top tier professional when it comes to estimating a job) - it always cost waaay more than it should have, and took waaay longer than it should.

It’s an affluent area with blue ribbon schools in a great location within walking distance to town and the train station into Center City Philadelphia as well as the suburbs.

We mostly use 2 colors of paint, a beige and a grey that also looks blue when the light hits it right so tenants feel like they get two different room colors and tend to really like that.

Seen some minor ups and downs but my area is very blue collar and the recession proved to be a small blip and not catastrophic like some other areas.

Cleveland is still a blue collar town and when a true diamond in the rough hits the market, you will be competing against dozens of native Clevelander's with rolled up sleeves who know what it's like to work the trenches.

I still think its kinda wonky that a person should just issue a note "out of the blue" sort of, for one property with no experience doing private lending. 

just a little advise . don't try to be the HERO unless you have money to burn. its like a stock you buy a penny stock or a blue chip.

It's not really a mixed bag of apples, you're a prohibited party so no "partnering" with your SDIRA so you can only do white collar work, no blue collar hammer swinging.
