Hey @Graham Kim,I’d recommend going move-in ready or with light cosmetic rehab for your first deal.

For most turnovers, the top three needs I consistently see are:Paint and patchwork – Touching up walls, fixing nail holes, and making the place feel fresh again.General repairs – Think loose doorknobs, leaky faucets, damaged blinds, or appliance issues.Deep cleaning – Kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and windows need to be spotless for the next tenant.If it’s a long term tenant moving out, sometimes flooring or light fixture updates come into play too.As for labor, having a go-to crew is ideal.

Companies are absorbing costs or cutting production—moves economists warn aren't sustainable—before tariff impacts even show up in official data.

I warn them upfront to just give me the info and how it works and don't "sell" me- I'll be decisive.

It is a light enough gray that you can paint the walls and ceiling the same color, avoiding ceiling cut-in. 

Light to heavy Reno.

Quote from @Frank Antonucci: Would love to have some recommendations for handyman/contractors for light rehab.

We have worked in these areas and making $25K on a light rehab will get me out of bed any day of the week. 

Only pay once they leave the place broom-clean and not stripped of mechanicals, cabinets, lights, etc.Thank you Drew for your response and info  

We replaced all floors with wood-look tile, built a new deck, installed a new water heater, upgraded the bathroom and kitchen, updated light fixtures, and applied fresh paint inside and out.
