Only advice I receive is to hire someone paint the wall and clean the carpet.

In a perfect world: (in no particular order): Square/rectangular shape, 1-story, open floor plan, lower pitched roof fully trussed, slab on grade monolithic foundation, 24 o.c framing everywhere, T1-11 plyw. siding, minimal windows, minimal doors, minimal trim, minimum code electrical/HVAC/plumbing, carpet everywhere, avoid tile, laminate countertops, Home Depot cabinets, basic fixtures and appliances, no fencing, no trees or old stumps, minimize landscaping, minimize driveways and walkways, forget pavers, cleared flat lot, no fill, utility hookups available in front of house and best case they are aleady tapped, inspectors are easy to work with and pass everything the 1st time, subs show up when they need to and actually care.

In PRIME location.It’s listed for 195kIt needs• brand new kitchen • 1 master bath, 1 guest• new flooring (everything is carpet)• paint• maybe 4 new doors• maybe exterior paint and definitely landscaping 3 bed 2 bath- brick chimney to the ceiling 😍Comps on the street are up to 275k- 2 streets down comps are 350-1.5milThis would be our second flip- does it sound worth it and what’s the best backup offer since we don’t know what anyone else has offered

The drywall and carpet needs to be replaced (at a minimum).We were carrying force-placed insurance.

Just assuming some new carpet and paint will improve the value 5X your investment may not be realistic.

New carpet, paint, and laminate flooring.

You may also need to replace carpeting and other soft surfaces.

The flooring upstairs is rough, old carpet and laminate flooring.

We ripped out the carpet yesterday, and the wood floors may or may not be salvagable.I opened up the wall behind the bathroom yesterday to chase down a leak, and found some bad plumbing and some mold and rot. 

The two vacant units are as follows:  One just had an eviction, the other is vacant and could use new carpet and paint.The area is blue collar and low income.The buildings themselves are 6/10.
