Lower the insurance deductible, leave a light on in the house so it looks occupied, screw backdoor and downstairs windows closed or cut pieces of wood so windows can't be opened, put a privacy fence around the backyard, blinds, timers to make tv or lights go off and on every so often, leave kids toys out front, set bear traps along the perimeter of the hvac units and cover with leaves.

The property has fire damage so the kitchen and a bedroom need extensive repair and update. 

Management, evictions, kitchens and roofs cost almost the same of a $500/month unit or a $900/month unit.My rule is not too buy apartments that rent under $500/month.  

Is it a vaulted ceiling, wider hallways than normal, storage space, larger bedrooms, closet, kitchen??

I prefer the DAP kitchen and bath caulking.

I get a call from a buyer saying that after a heavy rain, the roof leaked and the entire kitchen ceiling was soaked and falling down. 

The wife and I recently painted our kitchen countertops.

I work full-time at USPS but do part-time Real Estate Agent on the side, mainly help some relatives, friends, family members buy their house. 

I haven't talked to a building company since I am just currently browsing potential properties and analyzing them to get some more experience doing the calculations.But I can't really analyse any deals without knowing how much the refurbishment costs are going to be.I would like to know, what should be on the snagging list to make this into a proper kitchen and also what the approximate costs would be do to all of that.Property details:2 Bed / 1 BathroomCurrent offer: 110.000 PoundsARV: 166.300 PoundsEstimated repair costs: 20.000 Pounds (not sure if this is accurate AT ALL)Offer I am putting out: 96.410 Pounds (based on the 70% rule)Rent: 1000 Pounds per calender month (2 tenants sharing the house, 500 each)The property is located in an area with 3 universities and a hospital, so I figured there would be a good chance for letting this house out with 2 tenants (correct me if I am wrong).Here are the calculations that I have learned on my 3 day property investing seminar (UK based) and have implemented in my calculation spread sheet below.Please comment on the calculations if you see something missing or find odd.

We also list in MLS but usually get the places rented without MLS.I also do some light staging of the kitchen and bathrooms.
