This is how we do it for a typical project that is pretty much a cosmetic overhaul:Our main crew (who all work for the same company) are generally the first on the job, and for the first several days, they do demo, exterior repairs (siding, trim, gutters, soffit/fascia), interior repairs (sheetrock repairs, doors, etc), and then paint the entire interior and exterior.

Since living there theyve asked for a few necessary items and a couple of cosmetic items later on.

Normally a home prior to going retail with a realtor has work/repairs to be completed even if cosmetic to get maximum retail value which most motivated sellers don’t care to do.

I believe they sell these kits right next to the "Perform Surgery on Yourself" kits.

Here are the details:Sale Price: $270,000 for a single-family home with 3 beds/2 baths.Gross Income: $3,500 per month, including nightly rates and cleaning fees.Expenses breakdown:Cleaning and Supplies: 15%Maintenance: 7%Utilities (Electricity, Water, Gas, Internet, Pest Control, Lawn Care): 10%Software: 3%Property Management: 15%With a 25% down payment and a 7% interest rate, after cosmetic updates and furnishing, the property yields less than a 1% CoC return.

., https://www.amazon.com/Archiol...for kitchens where I light it up like a surgery: I use 4-5 4" ultra thin integrated led "cans" where no j-box is needed; You can just reach up in the ceiling and plug in a new light if you do get a bad one (I have not yet).

I aim for a minimum 10% of my purchase price in profit on a cosmetic flip.

I'm looking to purchase rental property to buy & hold for positive cash flow.Unfortunately I'm located in New York City, where anything remotely close here is far out of my budget, and regardless, this is not a landlord friendly location.Specifically, I'm looking for MFHs (mostly duplexes) for around $40-$55k, which need minor, mostly cosmetic work, and can be rented for around $500-$700 per side.  

I bought a smoky-smelling foreclosure that needed cosmetic work.
