Of course because it was a HUD foreclosure it had been stripped of the copper pipes, AC and appliances which for me as a newbie was a shock because it looked so nice from the interior.

Long term I would definitely store extra appliances and stuff in the basement.

I see a lot of questions about appliance repair here on the forum and thought I would offer some help.

Cabinets and appliances all work as they should and are in good condition.

Remodeling floors, rooms, upgrading lighting, and replacing appliances.

The coin-operated washing machine in my 4-plex required repair and I overnighted the master key to an appliance repair company in Colorado Springs, as I live 4 hours away and could not immediately be onsite.After the repair was made they mailed the master key (not a flat key, but the kind with a hollow round end) in a plain paper envelope.

Or a 1 month new paint, carpet and appliances?

Much more extensive rehab, only thing we did not replace was the HVAC it was basically new. 1st off we converted the home from a 4br/1.5ba to a 4br/2ba, floors, paint, roof, appliances, stuff like that.

All appliances are updated with beautiful stainless steel finish.

Then there was factoring in if it was in a "good" location in the city of a "bad" one and what benefits it held as a rental...washer/dryer, parking, updated appliances, etc etc.If you have any other questions please let me know!
