One of my favorite types of properties to buy is one that has had a couple of full-on renovations back in the 70s or 80s, as the cosmetics are usually completely shot by that point but a lot of the systems were upgraded at that point - 200 amp panels, copper or pvc water lines, pvc sewer, older/dead central HVAC, etc.

@Shar M. only good advice you can get on an internet forum with this little information is to get a GC out there to bid the project.You could be looking at a light cosmetic rehab or a massive, can't get the plumbing to work, need to tare down level project and anywhere in between.I say be more concerned about the things that you can't see (plumbing, sewer, HVAC, electric) more than the things you can see (Sheetrock, paint, etc.).

My subject property needs minor cosmetic repairs and can be done easily and quickly.

Like Ty said above, the cosmetic changes bring the value.

I have set up my follow-up routine, have my brochure ready, my Probate Case Work Sheet ready, Master Index is ready,  I am at a loss for what to say in my letter to PR as an introduction.

I am interested in purchasing a property that could use about $8000-$10,000 in cosmetic upgrades (change carpet for laminate, retexture and paint walls + ceiling, upgrade appliances, upgrade countertops to granite, upgrade kitchen+bathroom cabinets).How can I structure an offer offering full asking price but at closing the seller gives me back $10,000 cash?

The landlords routinely end up looking like greedy vultures picking among ruins populated by children of a lesser god that they in turn despise.

We can and have made short-term accommodations for temporary hardships, but cannot routinely have our income determined by yours.https://www.aoausa.com/magazine/?

If it’s a legitimate gripe I’ll fix it but if it’s cosmetic or not a required function to maintain the house I’ll just tell the tenants I have plans to do continued updates and repairs in the future ( which isn’t lying) to get them off my back. if it’s unreasonable I simply say “ no”

Simple cosmetic rehab What was the outcome?
