Yep best investment you'll make outside of fresh coat of paint and good cleaning.

For me it is a combination of the two.Homedepot:For paint I use Kilz Pro-X dead flat, all fans and light fixtures, all plumbing(bigger selection)Lowes:I use there tile and backspalsh.

PAINT EXTERIOR OF NEW FRONT DOOR: $2250.00REPAIRS: INSTALL TWO NEW LOCKSETS ON THE EXTERIOR DOORS.

But, if I were to guess at San Antonio prices and if I were to guess at the quality level you want and if I were to guess at the types of contractors you'd use and if I were to guess at the condition of the property, my *GUESS* would be about $30 per square foot, or about $65K.That would cover all mechanicals (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), insulation, sheetrock, painting, flooring, cabinets, lighting/plumbing fixtures, appliances and trim (for about 2200 square feet).But again, you don't provide much info, so that's a complete guess based on assumptions that could be completely incorrect.

UGLY.horrible paint job overallno heating system. gas heater was taken out (which makes me wonder, because it's not foreclosed)I have not yet had the inspection done but I have an AWESOME inspector who will rip this place apart (figuratively) if I tell him to give me every detail to deduct from the selling price.A little about me:1. was just approved for a $15K line of credit I was going to use as a reserve to pay for updates and appliances (I want to pay most out of pocket though)2. 5K to put down.3. another property I want on the same street is 9,000, needs about 25k in repairs, but is really nice, but one family.

Nothing major, paint, rip up carpets etc.....Thanks in advance!

This includes, but is not limited to: - painting - affixing wallpaper; - changing bathroom or kitchen fixtures; - installation of electrical outlets, computer network cabling; cabling for television service; installation of a satellite dish for internet or television service; - changing of light fixtures;3.Tenants must not crack fill or fill any holes during their tenancy.

Some may need major structural repairs, while others may just need paint and cleaning.Also, I don't see where that formula factors in holding costs?

Paint it the same as the wall and its not very noticeable even when not in a closet.Replacing the washers in the old type is the definition of insanity.

Building the front porch -Installing the Ikea cabinet boxes -Siding on the front of the house -The front porch, again -Wood floors in, walls painted... almost done.
