The bones of this property were in good shape, with solid mechanicals, my investor is doing a complete overhaul of the cosmetic items to make this a nice high end rental.

I'd say get the big stuff done first such as any electrical/ plumbing/foundation work, then re assess your budget and do the cosmetic updates starting with paint then kitchen and bathrooms.

At the end of 2021, our friends moved out and we began doing cosmetic updates on our spare bedrooms to get them rent-ready for future roommates.

This home was not real attractive inside and out, but was mostly cosmetic.

Mainly cosmetic, but needs to be touched everywhere.

I want to feel like I would live in the property, not an emotional attachment but that it’s safe, clean, and maybe needs some cosmetic work but can be made to be nice enough to meet my standards.

Was all cosmetic work but the basement did flood after we listed it, which ended up hurting our budget.

We are looking to buy, lightly update cosmetic items and rent the houses out.

The only thing to keep in mind is that there may be cosmetic issues that could be an issue for FHA.

@Theresa Harris it is a little bit scary going in, so definitely looking for something smaller with minor cosmetic updates needed.
