Each property we've purchased has been owned by an older guy with terrible listing photos taken on an old Nokia phone and has been in need of a few minor cosmetic updates like painting, flooring, fixtures and maybe a small bathroom or kitchen remodel here or there.

Secondly she wants new flooring in the kitchen because there is a small cut in the vinyl where a knife dropped.

We painted every wall, finished new flooring, repaired drywall, all new doors, all new kitchen, partially new bathrooms, replaced a torn out support wall with a header, All new trim, updated HVAC, cleaned up yard / landscaping, removed all trash

To keep material costs down we shop Facebook market place for kitchen cabinets and etc.

Examples would be a 3 bedroom with only a stand up shower, a sink in the pantry, a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom with the bathroom between the two bedroom and no secondary access, washer/dryer in the kitchen, etc.Laundry - ability to put in hookups in the basement if not possible in the unit itself.  

The tenants took it “as is” so I gave them their first month free since it was in terrible condition inside needing painting, repairs, kitchen appliances and cleaning.

Install one clawfoot tub (today people only dream of these), run garden hose  under the house from the hot/cold water line in the kitchen to the tub.

.$50 in water = $60 extra...Like if they had an argument about dinner and slammed a kitchen cabinet door and broke it...

Plumbing has been the biggest issue for us but we generally replace a lot of it when we do updates to the kitchens and bathrooms.
