They had to go back and adjust all kinds of crime numbers.Like Mark Twain said, "Lies and Statistics!"

@Andy Chu yes sir, we are looking at cabinet refacing and/or replacing, electrical, plumbing, dry wall and painting, flooring and landscaping.

Right now, I am a junior at a university and have a research project for a statistics class that I am in.

I had Abacus come out and run a camera as well as unclog a landscaping drain.

The best way to force appreciate a home is through renovations in the kitchen, curb appeal (front and back landscaping), bathrooms, paint (interior and exterior), and flooring.

But then of course they told you all these tragic stories and statistics.

Or maybe contractor-grade flooring, paint, landscaping and faucet upgrades on a 3/2 house. 

The property was in a great location but needed new flooring, update bathrooms/kitchen, pool work, landscaping, a little demolition work in the backyard (the owner made a DIY gazeebo type thing in the backyard...it was a hack job), and foundation repair.

@Jay Hinrichs  @Jason Gutierrez  @Hattie Dizmond Statistically speaking, only about 1 in 20 (or 5%) of our investor clients will take the time to fly/drive over to see our properties.  

It would include things like landscaping and utilities ( but not the cost of connecting utilities).Where it gets dicey is when you occupy the property.
