All of the renovations she did were purely cosmetic, and I took care of anything regarding structural integrity.

Would love any advise or deal sources for off market 2-4plexes needing some cosmetic TLC.

Also, the ability to see past cosmetics (either good cosmetics or bad cosmetics) to see the true potential value and best use of a property.In addition to these items, I expect the more typical competencies that most realtors should have (such as familiarity with neighborhood dynamics and values, an understanding of how to make a competitive offer and close a deal, etc.).In my experience, it's also important to have a mortgage broker with a lot of these same skills, who understands the techniques investors use (techniques that might not be used by a typical homebuyer).Good help is hard to find, as they say  :)

I would recommend making a cosmetic upgrade to the property rather than invest in solar. 

@Benjamin Aaker Not too sure about what needs to be done, from the pictures it looks like to get it to my rental standards some cosmetic stuff but nothing major, but other than driving by I have not seen it in person.

I had a real estate agent walk the house and she estimated that there’s ~$2k of cosmetic work to be done.

minor cosmetic updates: landscaping, painting, cabinet hardware, update light fixtures.

I'm doing some minor cosmetic work to the house- fixing a few little things.

The rehab is mostly cosmetic in nature.

I just purchased a duplex for 155k that just needs some cosmetic help.
