Both units need a lot of cosmetic work/upgrades to get top rent.

Looking to see if anyone in the area has a reliable and affordable contractor or handyman they can recommend for a few cosmetic repairs.

Here are the numbers:Palm Springs property, will be a high-end Airbnb (after remodel is complete and STR license obtained)Purchase Price: $2,300,000Rehab Budget: $150,000 (yes this is low but this one is only cosmetic)ARV: $3,000,000Hard money 12 month bridge loan, 80%LTV and 100% construction.

Each item would show your price for routine repair/replacement, or, in the case of cleaning," light", "average", and "heavy".

You can control how you choose to communicate with your tenants.At move-in, I explain the difference in emergency maintenance requests, urgent maintenance requests, and routine maintenance.

It will make you a stronger business operator since you won't be able to check on your projects routinely yourself, but it allows you to scale more quickly.I was living in Denver when I started investing in Chicago and I hold 90% of my portfolio there til this day.

Buy a more turnkey property or one that is a very light cosmetic "paint and flooring" type rehab.

However I can see finishes are very basic, and somewhat dated and worn, so it would need thorough cosmetic improvements to get top value if selling or in order to increase rent.The appreciation opportunity makes this seem like a good idea, but getting top dollar probably means waiting to sell at least 1-2 years for the neighborhood to continue improving.

Either these are really obvious scratches or you're getting too emotional about it.The damage is completely cosmetic.
