Hi @Henri Meli when I had a lot of multi units in Durham & Wake Co, I could turn a unit for less than $2k, do a face lift for under $5k, and an in-depth upfit for less than $10k.

Also, late fees are $6700 of it. which isnt a promising signI was going to look at large CAPEX during due diligence phase more in depth for sure.
