It’s easier to do if you can save cabinets and re-paint them, save vanities the same way, etc.

Had to cancel several bookings and find the one painting contractor in the entire county who could thread the needle for me. 

The new owner is painted as a jerk because he/she expects market rent for the property they paid for.

I replaced the carpet, full kitchen remodel, whole house paint and slight bathroom updates. 90% of it was sweat equity.

Taylor and Maja G.We were paying $1,200 in rent per month.We bought a two-family, purchased for $245k, main reno was converting heating to gas (mainly to save money this winter) which was about $15k, everything else we did on our own, cleaning, painting, filling holes etc.

New Kitchen, Roof, Flooring, Painting, Landscaping What was the outcome?

The kitchen cabinets need to be painted, replace some of the flooring and maybe add a few can lights. everything seems to be cosmetic and would be about $20k.

Yes my two plans are selling for 40k profit or rent with a decent cashflow (but as of right now i would have 10% or $40k locked into the deal if i rent)Its a 2009 1300 sq ft that only needs interior paint, kitchen paint, and fixtures.

We did most of the work ourselves and had contractors do the big jobs (pool, countertops, exterior paint).
