I had my rental property painted.

My handyman couldn’t even get paint today because the machine at Home Depot couldn’t mix it thanks to the CrowdStrike software update that caused a global tech outage.

Updates include new upstairs flooring, kitchen counters/sink, bathroom vanities/toilets, and fresh paint.

Full rehab-paint, flooring, granite countertops, added bathrooms What was the outcome?

Renovating a 100 year old property often requires more than cosmetic updates such as paint, flooring, lighting, etc.

That chuck of change could go a long way towards renovations like a small bathroom remodel, interior painting, or new flooring, etc. if you choose to sell at a higher list price. 

In two months you can only clean up, paint and carpet, maybe a few other easy things (there is always something!).

NOT a big deal, Scrap and paint the windows or better yet just replace them.

We updated the unit cosmetically through paint and furnishings, as well as consolidated the kitchen and added more living room space.
