New roof, siding, central ac/heat, water heater, lights, carpets, toilets, counters and faucets (they are not gold btw) in bathrooms, paint, lots of new trim and finish items (vent registers, baseboards, etc.), and full clean up of yard and exterior.

There could be tremendous opportunity (to increase rents and property value) if you are that one "owner" and you probably could do some major improvements just buying 2, 3, or 4 together, creating a quiet, well kept, good tenant end of the street (paint all yours the same color and build appropriate fencing, etc)...

We had to spend 2 days patching tiny holes, then painted the whole house.

We did a lot of landscaping and we painted the entire home inside and out.

The old owner also updated the appliances and painted for me..

Will do some exterior painting and trim work in the spring Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

ok you are positive or negative cash flow without prop management or expenses. newer houses have low expenses unless the PM rips you off with fake expenses or exorbitant turnover costs.

New materials and paint, fixed the minor issues, updated technology, had the HOA involved.

Lifted our ceiling up for more open feel, added an elevated primary bedroom and bathroom, fresh paint and beautiful materials.

I'm no liberal, but I'm certainly no corporate tale end kisser that wants to make sure we must buy health insurance form companies that will continue to have their own death panels and rip me off!
