In light of the amounts of $ thrown around at the banks and car companies and federal programs like birth control for white tailed deer and the like, it's hard to argue against nutritious meals for kids at $2 million a year.

With a light refurbishment to attract good long term tenants and good rents plus potential long term hold ie 10years for growth -bonus if it happens.

We'll see what happens.It needs some light work (painting, flooring etc.) and a few other misc. things but overall this is a fantastic house for the price.

Well, it didn't light.

I really enjoyed the book it helped me view social media marketing in a different light.

I believe he had a cleaning company come once a week to do some light cleaning in the common area.

But then again just need to stay on top of it since we all know tenants will let you know when the red battery light is flashing.

Match the core condition of the house to other houses being rented out, and then go all out for a select few upgrades.I have seen a lot of that level houses have "Garage/Shoplight" in the kitchen.Buy a 60 dollar new nice dome light and put that in the kitchen.

Everyone is fight after the value-add properties with light rehab.  

Also, Ipainted every wall, did a custom closet re-org in the guest bedroom, updated with new lighting and fixtures, knocked a part of the bedroom wall out to extend the master closet (and added addition slider door storage space above the closet), saved a dilapidated pergola, and did a bunch of stone work and landscaping to create a backyard oasis.
