How to Calculate the Real Cost of Fixing Up a 1970s–1990s South Atlanta Rental Before Selling

If you own a rental property built in the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s, you may be looking at the house differently than you did a few years ago.

Maybe the tenant just moved out.

Maybe the property needs a serious refresh.

The carpet is worn. The kitchen looks dated. The HVAC system is getting old. The roof may be approaching the end of its useful life.

And now you're wondering:

Should I fix everything up before selling, or should I sell the rental as-is?

That sounds like a simple question.

It isn't.
