Hello BP Community,I am a very fresh (starting my research) from Tustin, CA and it would be great to start networking with people, especially with similar interests and goals. 

If the HOA is willing to budget some money for fresh paint on all the exterior buildings, it is value-add and will attract more investors like me.

With this new development (no pun intended) I would love to connect with some builders who might be looking to meet some new agents or bring in some fresh faces. 

.- Ripped up carpets and re-finished the hardwood- Fresh coat of paint- Laminate flooring in the bathroom- Stick on splash for the kitchen sink area- Few other minor repairs- Brand new stainless steel oven (all other appliances stayed the same)After all of this was finished up for about $5,000-$6,000 I was able to rent the unit out for just above market average in my area.

Get a fresh start and take full advantage of the BP members who will help you more than you can imagine at this early point in your career. 

I'm very fresh to the whole real estate world in practice, I'm trying to gain some experience of any kind.

I've always viewed vacant units, and those units were always freshly cleaned and painted and appliances clean or new with no lingering odors.

Then start fresh, too many unknowns and upgrades would be needed in my opinion.

I would appreciate anyone pointing me towards these type of deals.The memory of the housing crash is still very fresh in my mind, and I want to be more conservative with at least half of my capital. 

If it helps I got my start house hacking when I was fresh out of college.
