Renovated the home: new floors and paint, new faucets, lots of cosmetic work.

One of the great things about the house hack is you can take your time fixing up the ugly, cosmetic things.

Cosmetic Renovations What was the outcome?

For long-term rentals, look to single-family properties in need of some work and cosmetic updates.

Even what appears to be cosmetic problems should be corrected to prevent intrusion from water or pests.

Cosmetic fix is pretty easy to estimate.

All you need to look for is a property you can purchase with $50,000 down and then, using simple math, you only need to get that property for $25,000 less that what it is worth and you just earned $25,000, or you earned a return of 50% on your investment capital the day you close escrow, or if you purchase the property for $25,000 less than its value, increase the value by $25,000 by doing a little cosmetic work and increase the rent you could easily earn 100% or 150% on your money in less than 1 years.

But don't be afraid of cosmetic work.
