Buyers will also want property insurance, tax statements showing they are current, and basic property details.

Just basic updates like paint, flooring, a kitchen, and maybe a bathroom. 

Keep it simple and learn the basics (tons of resources here).3.

What’s really interesting is that the basics of all these “strategies” were being taught by “gurus” in the mid 1970s to mid 1980s. 

If you're pulling equity at 7%+ to buy something that cash flows at 6-8%, you're basically breaking even or worse.

Jaron, keep in mind I had to hire PM services so when you add that in for sure not worth it. and I might have mentioned if you change course unless you can use the furniture you basically haul it to the dump :)

@Leto McElveen you still need to do your basics. 

Heirs can inherit Roth and the gains remain tax free PLUS the heir(s) didn't have to pay taxes on the principle.5.

Even basic bathroom refreshes (vanity, fixtures, lighting, paint, GFCI) can run $4k–$6k per bath if you’re not doing all the labor yourself.

And for essentials, those usually mean basics like sheets and towels, which I believe you do provide since they are visible in your photos.Hope these suggestions help.
