Replace Windows or fix windows

[Kyle McVay]

So we are buying (6/5 close) our first rental and it's needing a lot of rehab before we rent it. We're trying to find things NOT to fix. We have to level the house and we are turning a 2-1 into a 3-2 . The house already has new lights, brand new roof, A/C & Water heater so these big expenses were done by the previous owner who originally wanted to flip the house. Every window in the house looks pretty close to original (house c. 1937) and some of the glass is broken.  All windows are single pane. 

My husband and I are wondering, should we:

*just  repair windows & sills and fix broken glass 

*Or change out all of the windows 

What do y'all think?

1923 meets 2023.

It really depends on what you need to offer to get renters in the area and what you want to offer and have in your portfolio.

A little paint, hiding those wires and getting those antenna on a pole in the backyard would make for a fresher look too.

Good Luck!
