Paint an exterior for $5k, install an interior French drain and sump pump for $5k ect.

I did have to paint the entire interior of the house (the color was not renter friendly) and install a washer, dryer, and refrigerator.

I travel internationally a lot for work, and am beginning to explore how I could build a small portfolio of homes in the cities I work out of. 

When asked whether the owners of the property wanted to fix up the property to make it more saleable, they declined.Subsequently the online listing was edited to state, requires re-doing of internal walls due to drug raid.Needless to say it sat on the market for a long time. 

And if they have to drill holes for interior piers, you pretty much will have to replace the entire flooring. $$$$3.

You can not go wrong with whites, off whites, and light earth tones for paint on the interior.

For example, I would have added an interior door for my attached garage, and built with a basement instead of on a slab

Interior paint and ceiling white ?

After the acquisition of three machining certificates  and a profitable internship I find myself gainfully employed with Williams International, where my nights are filled with crafting parts for jet engines and missiles.

You can also buy our books from Amazon.com, they would be able to ship internationally.
