When you consider your reserves for the replacement of floors, cabinets, fixtures, roofs, DHW, HVAC, etc., you will find most residential properties (1 - 4 units) will fall into the that 40 - 60% window over the long-term.

Often properties that need a cosmetic rehab (patch walls that were kicked in, cabinets that were trashed, etc.) turn inexperienced investors off and they can't look past the condition and see the potential. 

I just bought a 600 square foot property and I got a quote for $8500 to completely gut the interior and basement (Plaster walls/ceilings, cabinets, bathroom, trim, some carpet, and a few rotten walls, bathroom, and drywall in basement).

Black, white or stainless stove, fridge and range hood, looks good with white cabinets, there are none present--will you have to provide them to be competitive in the area? 

It's just been updated with paint, new flooring, cabinets appliances, so there would not be much work to ready it for rent.

Hello BP I wanted to get your guys thoughts and opinions on what color I should paint my kitchen cabinets.

Purchase price: $800,000 Cash invested: $140,000 Sale price: $1,100,000 This property has been professionally Renovated from Top to Bottom and Looks and Feels like a Brand New Model Home Brand New electrical system, New Plumbing, New HVAC System, New Drywall, New paint, New Cabinets & High End Quartz Countertops.

Roof leaks, leaking supply or waste pipes, tub surrounds, cabinet bases (between the interior bottom of cabinet and the floor), all can create these slow leaks that rot wood and can "feed" mold and attract other pests that could be causing your issues.You might also have a professional perform testing for mold.

I replaced both bathrooms, tiled the floor, built a breakfast bar in the kitchen, painted cabinets and did a concrete overlay for all the countertops.  

Shared space in the refrigerator or cabinets needs clear definition of who can use which space.
