@Robert Fountain,dated and dated, clean and new paint smell are 2 different things...i would check all competition for 0.5-1 mile radius then check all features for houses sold in the same radius.you will then know:-paint color/combination to use (neutral beige or the ever popular graige/grayish tones)-appliances common or not/expected or not (all matchy matchy)-houses features/commonalitychange counter tops and fixturesclean/rejuvenate the cabinetscheck like crazy the mechanicals: those are the #2 money eating (#1 is bad tenant or vacant property)some here on BP have removed carpet completely and refinished wood under/switched to vinyl click wood like planksgood luck

@Janelle Green You could also look into getting a personal loan from one of the online lenders if that is something you can qualify for.

Get the green one larger print easier to write /highlite in margins.

This quickly eats into the return of the value add.I also question how it is fair that the tenant can choose to not extend a month to month lease anytime with the proper notice but the LL cannot. 

Hello BP Community,I am finishing up the book, Long-Distance Real Estate Investing, by David Greene and he speaks about the biggest house expenses that pertain to specific geographical areas (frozen pipes that burst in cold areas, roof wear-and-tear from rain in Florida, etc.).

As long as you're not chipping away at it and then breathing that in or eating the chips you're fine.

I'll eat the fee if it gets them all to pay online.You can have custom late fees for different properties or use the same one for all.Haven't really used the maintenance ticketing but it would be helpful I'm sure.I like the messaging system so you can send out HVAC filter change reminders and etc, but it would be nice if it could be scheduled automatically. 

Hi @Elvin Green.
