The home was perfect upon move in, now it appears all carpet will need replaced, all walls painted, serious deep cleaning everywhere(It's disgusting), appliances have not been cleaned ever, kitchen cabinets may need refinished, mini blinds replaced, etc.

It's listed at $69,900It's valued at $90,690It's a 4br1ba, 1500 sqft. home with an adjacent lot included with a dbl garage and a single garage both detached.Taxes are $1,290 good neighborhood-----Needs all appliances stove/fridge/washer/dryerA couple windows in one of the bedroom need replacedNeeds new paint and carpets throughoutHas a patch missing on the garage roofNeeds a new sink in kitchen (it's leaking)Has small mold spot on ceiling in bathroomThe basement has carpet on all the walls?

The first surprise may occur in a couple of years, when the first tenant moves out and the investor needs to spend 2k to get the property back into ready to rent condition (the cost of painting, re-carpeting, fixing dinged up kitchen cabinet doors, etc. adds up).

Therefore, keep away from painted cabinet doors as they scratch in no time.

In addition to keeping your rental dwellings clean, you need to frequently paint or otherwise maintain the exterior.

The attic space goes to zero at the soffit, so we didnt have room to work.I still have to go back and do a little caulking/ touch up painting from the installs, but I'm glad it's done.

I went and did an inspection of the unit and found some problems.1) Handle to the refrigerator is ripped off. 2) They used large nails to hang paintings so now I have walls with many holes.

Instead of staining the boards, have you considered painting them the same color as the wall?

In this case they get a new paint job and new carpet.  

I do all types of rehabbing , but for this type of investor it will be light rehabbing like flooring, countertops, vanities, fixtures and painting or 2.
