Remember, the key is to balance cost with quality and durability to ensure your renovations stand up to buyer scrutiny and add value to the property.Let me know if you're ever looking to get a quote on your next fix and flip deal!

@Aaron Henes I've bought several turn-key properties through Norada last year and have had a good experience.

I haven't personally looked, but depending on how far you consider "something nearby" you could start to look towards Bakersfield/Fresno or moving east.

Since then we have moved out of the area and been renting it out for the past few years.We are slightly negative on cashflow, about $100 a month or so when you account for a 3rd party property management service and expected repairs etc.Our challenge here is the home is old.

I have had guests change their physical move in dates at times, and I keep everything the same, for the most part.

I have renters who moved in 4 months ago.

I had a tenant move in last week and she sent me a video of her ceiling fan that was "wobbling" a little too much for her liking and asked if I could fix it.

Flexibility for Future Moves: When I decided to move out later, I can continue renting both units, creating a consistent income stream even after transitioning to a new home.

I hired someone else to work on the project, and I am okay with paying him in full and just moving on to the next project.I have already paid him ~300k, and ~40k of the last payment is remaining.

If my cleaners arrive before the guests leave, they have instructions to knock on the door and get the guests moving along.
