My Live-In flip has been mostly cosmetic and ongoing, with doing the majority of the early work myself.

This included mostly cosmetic work, including paint, floors, kitchen work, etc.

The inspection came back with lots of work needed (new AC unit and water heater, extensive termite damage, critters living in attic, roof needs a tune up, and cosmetic repairs onto of this) but not terribly bad (furnace is fine, roof doesn’t need replacing, foundation is fine).

Simply make a few routine purchases every month, purchases that you will make anyway and pay the balance off in full every month. 

@Danica Moeller start with small cosmetic BRRRs with small discounts.

Would like to tackle only cosmetic rehab and able to do the work ourselves.Our first property was a 203k so we have experience going that route.

If the answer is yes-- you can take off for that 1 blind, the fact it doesn't match cosmetically isn't the tenants problem.   

Purchase price: $73,000 Cash invested: $20,000 Full cosmetic rehab of a townhome style condo, that will either be used as a medium term rental for traveling nurses or flipped.

The cost of the property is $645 with total potential rental income after some cosmetic renovations of at least $5,500 p/m.We will live in one side and rent the other for $3,000pm then look to refinance asap.

The property only needed a cosmetic rehab, no major renovations needed in this property.
