I will also be updating the cosmetics on the inside.

But there are also places that might only need a bit of cosmetic work that the numbers will still work out if you want to take a slightly slower and simpler approach.Good luck out there, it's a crazy market to make your debut in.

Value add (15k budget): Cosmetic interior repairs (drywall, paint, cleaned roof algae, added curb appeal), replaced plumbing (entire house), and updated electric meter & panel.

Negotiated price down because units need some cosmetic work.

If the house is empty it should be a month plus to rehab a lot of people work for a year to make 50k.we are doing cosmetic paint flooring fixtures and budgeting 2wks & 20k. materials are leveling off contractors.... if you break it into smaller pieces a lot of times they can squeeze in or let their guys do it as extra project on the weekends.good luck and feel free to dm me

So by just knowing the basics, like how much to budget for cosmetic repairs that should be enough.

I always hear about how cosmetic upgrades and adding bedrooms/bathrooms raise the ARV, but I also hear that some items do not raise the ARV.For homes that were purchased with poor components such as a distressed pillar and post foundation, galvanized steel piping, or knob and tube electricals, does replacing them with modern components raise the ARV for a higher cash-outrefinance down the line?

So with the nature of short term rentals, being more like a hotel rather than rental, there are a lot more up front costs, (such as furniture, amenities, cleaning supplies, bathroom/kitchen supplies, etc) that can really drive up your initial cash needed to fund outside of acquiring the property, but a lot of times it is worth it considering how much more cashflow you can make.Since I’m putting a lot into the deal upfront for all the things listed, should I be looking for more turn-key appreciation properties with not a lot or any rehab needed, or should I still shoot for properties that need cosmetic repairs in order to find a better deal?

I’m looking to purchase a house and live in it for a year and do light cosmetic work to it then move into another house and rent out the previous one.

It needs cosmetic work and bathroom touch ups.
