He maintained a modest rehab budget and concentrated on the big picture, upgrading the electric, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning. He also installed a new kitchen and two new bathrooms, and improved the curb appeal by re-siding the house. The project was a success, and he sold the home for a profit, which he reinvested in another multi-family property.
