I'm trying to get a ballpark estimate of what it should cost to paint the interior of a 4 bedroom unit in Shaker Heights. thanks! 

Paving the driveway, fresh paint or repairs to stairways/decks, adding some landscaping or a tree, and upgrading appliances like washers/dryers can all increase perceived value.

Maybe go visit them and see what they have to offer interior and exterior, as well as age of the units, as well as grounds keeping, as well as parking lot condition (Alligator with potholes, slurried, fresh black top with new paint lines).

I mean in your personal home are you missing door knobs and broke all your blinds and have holes in your sheet rock and since one buys a fresh rehab house 2 years ago.. in the home you live in do you need to paint it and clean it like this in two short years..   ???

The home received a full transformation including updated flooring, remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, fresh paint, improved lighting, and exterior enhancements that elevated curb appeal.

Years ago we made the mistake of customizing the paint for each home.

New flooring, fresh paint, updated fixtures, addressing deferred maintenance.I raised rents strategically as leases renewed or units turned.

Despite the government’s recent reopening, the economic data blackout continues, leaving investors with limited fresh macroeconomic signals to guide positioning.

Regarding amenities, focusing on affordability is smart, but even small touches like well-maintained landscaping and curb appeal, modern or fresh paint colors, energy-efficient LED lighting, updated cabinet hardware, ceiling fans, good window treatments, and ample storage solutions all stand out and can help fill units faster and improve tenant satisfaction.

Let’s share what’s working — I think we can all gain some fresh ideas from each other!
