Included in this remodel is: remodeling the kitchen(granite, cabinets, fixtures, hardware, stainless and tile) both bathrooms(vanities, toilets, fixtures, lighting, tile), paint, skim coat drywall(where needed), vinyl plank flooring(new baseboards), replace some interiors doors and about $10-15k in landscaping and fencing.

Now I will give you one example: I purchased one property for 120K using a hard money loan, did some light renovations, handled an eviction, and agreed to sell it to one of the tenants with a 60K renovation budget.
