@David Roberts I have read about locals using STR's while they get their house tented or remodeled or doing the booking for relatives visiting from out of town. 

Thus, it doesn’t seem worth raising rent from $1,200 to $1,400 if it is going to cost me $3,000 to remodel a bit, and account for vacancy.

@Rashad EllisDefinitely consider ALL operating expenses, remodels, mechanical.

My plan is to remodel the kitchen, finish the basement, and rebuild the garage.

For example, say an agent puts a listing on MLS and provides new photos and features such as remodeled kitchen, new roof, finished basement etc.

I've googled and viewed various property management companies; however, the reviews are largely from the perspective of the renter, which is great and all, but not very helpful in understanding the buyers experience as it pertains to analysis, remote buying, remodeling and lease up.

Hi BP,I just bought my first rental property and need help finding a good contractor to remodel the bathroom I’m in the Savannah GA area, and also how much do I expect to pay for this type of job and or any tips are welcome :)

Add a 3rd bedroom, remodeling the kitchen and changing the floor plan What was the outcome?

From my experience in working with out of state investors using the BRRRR method in Memphis, you would have to get this property at about $80k to make sense with a small budget of $15k to remodel.

it is completely remodeled and rents for 900/month.
