Floor is just painted concrete, and that includes the 300sf which the county assessor counts as fully finished.I'm reading that DSCR rent appraisers may not count partially finished space at all, and count fully finished basement space at only 25% of the rent of main floor space in the same house.What are your thoughts--is this how it typically is for DSCR rent appraisals?

Prices have jumped up pretty significantly the last few years; I had an addition done in 2021 just when lumber was starting to go berserk and I spent $100/sf *BUT* I use a lot of these contractors in my rental business and it wasn't a turnkey job - I did the electric, insulation, HVAC extensions, painting and trimwork.

Needs some paint and a half bath update / Reno.

Basically we repair broken items but do not paint, replace flooring, windows, etc. this basically means rent areas will slowly deteriorate.  

Clean it up, put on a fresh coat of paint, and list it on the MLS to attract tons of buyers, including retail buyers!

The simplicity of the “I’ll take the number 5, with extra insulation and interior paint on the side” approach was appealing.

Purchase price: $150,000Cosmetic work needed on 2 of the 4 units (paint, recaulking around tub, cleaning) Already have materials from my other investment’s project. 

  $2,500 for an updated place / fresh paint & finishes.The house is not updated, and could use paint, etc. so I am reluctant to adjust too high too quickly.
