If you are insistent on just the maintenance function Property Meld may work. 

If I can't visualize how I'd use the space, propsective applicants will feel the same.Both location and function are so important.

If it changes how the house functions, pull permits.

Depending on your price point, you may not need to have brand new HVAC, electric, and plumbing--just functional and reliable.The best bang for your buck is to update colors and styles. 

Market sentiment turned risk-off, with a “short America” tone emerging as investors rotated out of equities into gold and crypto.

In my opinion, for a rental the priority is function a little more so than form.

It's functional though as I've pivoted to mobile home parks it feels more clunky.

Small functional upgrades also go a long way, such as adding in unit laundry, improving storage, upgrading kitchens just enough to attract better tenants, or improving parking and outdoor space.

Value was created through targeted renovations that improved functionality, appearance, and overall buyer appeal.

Even with small scale BRRR (just cosmetic/slight functional updates), ability to refinance within a handful of years is extremely important to have enough equity to pull out and repeat the process.
