New roof, landscaping, whole new renovation on the interior, redid the deck and patched the pool, fixed pool equipment, knocked out a wall in the kitchen, redid all bathrooms, carpet, flooring, etc.

Comnplete remodel of interior, tear down walls, remodel kitchen completely, new flooring throughout.

I don't know the interior problems with the units or the tenants, but I know you could negotiate for a lower price or get the price higher when you buy it.I don't know the place because I've never been to the city, but this deal is good because of the other apartments near it and the stores that are minutes away from the actual place.

Painted the whole interior, new fixtures, toilets, LVP throughout, new HVAC, and updated kitchen hardware.

I have a 4 bedroom home that i’ll be putting up as a vacation rental on Airbnb, and I just wanted to ask you guys if I should hire an interior designer or if I should just do the design work myself?

Currently remodeling interior [full rehab].

Interior and exterior renovation.

If you are considering a short-term rental in Joshua Tree the design style and aesthetics are super important, if you aren't into the local interior design trends you might consider partnering with someone that is. 

Opened up the floor plan some between the kitchen and living room, and painted the entire interior white to make the home feel more spacious.
