Life/safety obviously should have no limit.

Separate “must-do for safety/function” from “nice-to-have to increase ARV.”For BRRRR, the only things that must be done upfront are the items an appraiser, inspector, or tenant would flag as functional or safety issues, plumbing, electrical, bathroom addition, paint, etc.

They moved to the area for a job and are going to digital nomad for some time, but of course you can't tell your employer that.

For property owners and investors, this is a major safety and financial concern.

And it’s why Louisville continues to be what it has always been: steady, durable, and consistently consistent.Here's the twist:The more national office distress you see,the more capital rotates into industrial, logistics, retail, and mixed-use redevelopment.And Kentucky is positioned right in that slipstream.Investors love stability.Companies love access.Workforces love affordability.And right as NAR is projecting double-digit home sales growth in 2026 and a 4% bump in prices, Kentucky is stacking real economic foundations, not headlines.

Quote from @Carter Ledwith: Great point on the goal of balancing speed and safety.

If you’ve been on this forum lately, you’ve seen about 47 posts starting with:“I’m building an AI tool to analyze deals…”This is not one of those.I used to be VP of Digital Product at a large retailer and got my real estate license a few years ago for fun and investment opportunities.  

Next step: confirm ARV and realistic rent for 77048, tighten the rehab to only what increases rent and safety, and line up a lender term sheet for both the rehab loan and the refi before you start.

Sometimes, a quick conversation about how both parties can streamline communication can yield surprisingly effective results.Have you tried setting up a shared digital workspace or platform where both you and the vendors can update the status of maintenance tasks.

No safety hazards.
