One unit was vacant at the time of purchase, so I was able to execute a House Hack followed up with some light rehab and eventually lease up the property.

Great post @Garrett Brown, we have a vibey outdoor hang with string lights, plants and seating by a mini gas fire pit.

You can also make your place more trouble-free by fixing things up front that are most likely to break (new light fixtures, light bulbs, door locks, etc.).

After closing, I painted the whole interior of the house, made some small maintenance repairs, added new LVP and updated light fixtures.

We refinished Floors, New paint on all walls and ceilings, new light fixtures, rebuilt entire back deck, painted entire exterior, trimmed large oak trees where branches were hanging over the roof.

The interior was made up of high efficiency HVAC systems, contemporary lighting, and electric water heaters.

My guess would be its a "you get what you pay for" situation.Can anyone shed some light with recent experiences?
