Haven't seen interior yet except peering thru windows but estimating about $35,000 to uncover and refinish hardwood floors, replace some windows, paint everything inside, lite kitchen updates, some new appliances, and light bathroom updates...budgeting to replace one boiler immediately.It's up/down 3 bed 1 bath on each floor, would rent for about $1400 per side in as/is condition, but could fetch 1750 per side if updated.  

And in the mean time, Renting it out for 550-600 a side is doable, even with elevated expenses, it still can be profitable.But I will take the points both shawn and mike made, both with way more experience than myself.

may need to update1st Floor Front Door needs replacement Kitchen Tile Flooring Appliances new Sink, cabinets etc Recessed lights Bathroom Update flooring, vanity, toilet Fix ceiling in family room Flooring in family room (engineered hardwood flooring) New electrical panel (200A) New back door to kitchenOutside Roof has shingles missing from the weater either replace or repair.

Renovations would add a bedroom in house 1, and build out the suite in house 2 (+1 bed + 1 kitchen)3.

there is a realtor in my town that has a house that she will rent to owner to me but the house need a roof,electrical,drywall plumbing, painting, new kitchen sink & windows. the asking price is $15 thousand also she want $500 down an $200 a month. all this work I can do myself I am estimating that the material might cost about $5,000 to $7,000.

I just bought a new property and, in talking to my landlord friends, have found that most of them don't provide any of these.Installing a dishwasher in my new property would mean:1) cutting out some of the cabinets (it's a 1951 house, so the kitchen is already small, with limited cabinet space) or2) get a portable one that the tenant could connect to the sink when neededThe washer and dryer would be easy to put in, but the hookups are also positioned where it would be easy for a tenant to get them themselves (directly by outside door) without danger of tearing up the floors.I want to be able to charge fairly high rents for the property, and preferably rent to a family (it's in a hot neighborhood and has an absolutely gorgeous and huge backyard, which is rare).

That kitchen is sexy!

Well, after seeing the house, I have an update...It's still in perfect condition and I have just acquired 2 beds, 2 couches, a fridge, washer/dryer, 2 desks, a kitchen table, pots and pans, etc.
