I removed the ceiling fans from my properties in NJ and replaced them with nice, simple Home Depot light fixtures.

If you ever want to grab a cup of coffee and talk about anything let me know and we can set something up.

Cabinets, quartz counters, I’m thinking fixtures from Amazon, lightning, interior and exterior doors, tile.

Lived in and worked on the condo in the evenings and on the weekends, repainted, replaced flooring, appliances, some other outdated fixtures, sold it two years later with a gain nearly equivalent to my gross W2 earnings at the time.

The original cost of the land was $200,000, the building cost was $1,000,000 to construct, and the fixtures, furnishings and equipment in the building cost another $400,000.

If you use a couple 60w bulbs in ceiling fixtures, you’ll never have an issue.

Purchase price: $140,000 Cash invested: $12,000 Sale price: $225,000 Light Cosmetic Renovation, Bought on market with negotiations to $30K below asking, and used just over $11K to do a complete cosmetic renovation: paint, flooring, light fixtures, cabinets, countertops, bathroom fixtures and vanities.

There are some small improvements to be made in the quality of amenities (coffee makers, some TV´s need to be replaced, fresh paint, new linens and some light fixtures and some improvements in the bathrooms) but we have worked this out to roughly $2.8k per door. 

Make the guests BYO K-cup.

added value with elbow grease through painting, functional updates, laying a brick patio, and light fixtures.
