During rehab we like to tie the vent fan into the light switch for the bathroom so that it always comes on while the room is in use. 

Hi Melissa,if a tenant has occupied your home for 3 years you should expect that at the point you are turning it over to a new tenant there will be something needed besides light cleaning. 

Sold for 155k, my investor plans on doing some light cosmetic updates to bring this back to life and get it on the market for rent asap.

I've spent the last year following the real estate market and learning more about it, finally feel ready to make the jump to invest (especially since the deals are coming out to light). 

Rently just called me today to tell me they have smart home locks and the tenants can turn on the lights, a/c etc.

Re-piped the whole property, built a laundry room, expanded the pool deck and added pavers, refenced the property, re-built 2 exterior staircases, re-landscaped, and put in all new cabinets, granite, appliances, LVP flooring, lights, doors, blinds, etc.What was the outcome?

I've done camera work and the plumber said they see light root growth, but I could clean the pipes annually to prevent growth and back ups.

At turn lane or lights?  

It's in good shape, but I'm wondering if we'd see the ROI in the refinance from a higher appraisal if we decided to rip it out and add sheetrock and recessed lighting.

Sept 2024 +33% compared to last year (Sept 2023 was bad for some reason).Rest of the year is still light but hoping it picks up.
