I like to drywall the garage and put in 4 can lights.

This budget includes a new roof, all mechanical, plumbing, electric, new windows, new garage & significant work to the garden unit.

It is 4/2 and 40 sq ft larger no garage.

Intangibles to note are location in the Echo Park Hills with expansive outdoor space including views of both the hills and downtown skyline plus a garage and parking for a few vehicles.

This is what I'm looking at right nowARV 215000 recent comps 225000-239000My ARV is based on garage was turned into 4 bedroom That's a separate question would eliminating the garage and adding a 4 bedroom increase or decrease ARV?

I am looking at two approaches:1- Do the repairs myself, which would make me lock in a good chunk of money until I get cashed out2- Do the bare minimum (A/C, appliances and an outdoor window) and then give credits to the tenant if he decides to make the other repairs (paint, new carpet, garage door)Questions:1- What would make more sense financially?

The property I am looking to purchase:Asking price $275,0004 BR 2 Bath & detached efficiency unit attached to the garage 1 BR 1 Bath1,950 sq ftBuilt in 1947The whole property currently rents for $2,475 ($950/$900/$625) and the current vacancy rate is 7.71% in Wilmington.

There is a new roof, new water heaters, and new garage doors on this house.What should I be looking at and for when I'm at the house?
