Project Overview
REIF self-managed a full interior renovation of the unit, contracting materials and trade labor directly. The scope
touched nearly every surface: roughly 900 square feet of new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, all-new interior
and exterior doors and hardware, a complete repaint (primer plus two finish coats) with approximately 350 linear
feet of new craftsman baseboard, and refreshed electrical devices and lighting — new outlets, switches, GFCIs,
flush-mount LED fixtures, and ceiling fans. Seven new double-hung vinyl windows with blinds were installed. Both
bathrooms were fully renovated with new vanities, fixtures, toilets, exhaust fans, and a tiled tub-and-shower
surround, and a new tankless electric water heater was added. The kitchen received new cabinetry, countertops,
and a full GE appliance package, and the HVAC system was serviced and cleaned.
The Challenge

- Renovated the kitchen and bathrooms, installed new flooring, and replaced the roof
- Stabilized the property with a quality long-term tenant before refinancing and holding it as a cash-flowing rental
Property Data
The property was acquired off-market in distressed condition and required a full renovation before it could be placed into service as a long-term rental. The project included updated mechanical systems, new flooring and interior finishes, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and a complete roof replacement. REIF self-managed portions of the renovation while coordinating general contracting to efficiently stabilize the property for refinancing and long-term cash flow.
