Hi guys, brand new to real estate and have been listening to the bigger pockets podcast.

For smaller vanities it's usually best to just replace the whole vanity-if toilet shows scum or the lid shows any form of wear replace it-replace any mirrors or their hardware that do not look brand new-be sure all windows function-be sure all external doors are keyed the same-new white vinyl cordless blinds throughout The list is usually longer for complete rehabs, but hopefully you get the point.

The biggest benefit of the DST is that it also has the "child" series function, allowing you the ability to scale your portfolio without having to create brand new entities each time.

Well, when you're brand new, you don't really know the answers to those questions.That, and commitment can be difficult as well since true results take a while.

Full rehab so brand new everything.

There are a few houses on my block that someone had demoed and built brand new ones. 

Plus, if I'm going to do updates, I'd rather wait until I am ready for new tenants, so I can raise the rent to reflect the updates (and have the selling point of brand-new updates, which is wasted if they are done in the middle of a tenancy).I think I'll take the approach recommended by several folks here of just having my own contractor do the door.

Legally sound and is in great pdf format allowing me to interchange names and numbers easily along with my companies branding on them.
