Since the internet lives on forever, I think it's time I refresh this thread.

It’s refreshing to have a touch of it, like a nice framed map of the white mountains or framed photos of the area, but to overall have a fresh and clean and crisp look is a very smart choice.  

A new front door can instantly refresh the exterior and signal to prospective tenants that the property is well maintained.

I’ll just add a couple thoughts that might help squeeze some extra traction out of your efforts:Reposition the Listing: Sometimes relaunching with new photos, updated staging (even virtual), and a refreshed listing description can make it feel like a “new” property to buyers who might’ve passed the first time around.Targeted Investor Outreach: If it hasn’t moved on the retail side, you might start running the numbers for it as a rental or mid-term rental and package it as a turnkey opportunity.

The pro forma might assume steady-state costs, but real-life FF&E refreshes and maintenance can eat into margins quickly.Reputation RiskIf this ends up in your name (or your LLC), and the operator under-delivers or creates noise complaints, bad reviews, etc., that can follow you — especially if you're looking to raise funds or do more deals down the line.The return profile is attractive on paper, but I’d run downside scenarios too — like 25–35% drop in occupancy or average daily rate, or a 6-month period of sub-30% occupancy.

I am not looking for a fixer-upper, but I am willing to put money into " refreshing" a property.

Hey @Joe Joe, First off, I want to say it’s refreshing to see how intentional your approach is.

I recommend reading that book a few times, then reference chapters as a refresher when needed.https://www.biggerpockets.com/landlordbookbonusHere are 2 other sites:https://www.ezlandlordforms.com/& https://ipropertymanagement.com/ Best of luck.

Now you're refreshing your CRM wondering what went wrong.I’ve been there.

Question for you (more of a memory-refresher, perhaps):  If we purchase a property with hard money, enough to cover the purchase and part/all of the rehab, and take a loan from the LLC, as you covered here, to cover whatever out-of-pocket costs we might still incur, would we be able to refinance both the hard money loan and the secondary loan from the LLC?
