Buying, repairing or slight restyling while living in the home a good way to start additional earnings, which as you pointed out has given rewards when you calculate after a few properties.
In the first place, changing the floors from wood to laminate made a huge difference (normally wood is better of course) because the wood was "cheap" and the style old. We added an arctic white laminate and it made the entire apartment instantly brighter - which is really important in an old building with smaller windows on one side of the apartment only.
If I had a bit of a nest egg behind me already, I can imagine myself flipping houses here. One of the challenges is that it comes with capital gains unless it is lived in for at least two years.
most rewards comes from effort and forward thinking!
people often forget the first part of that.

Living in Finland the brighter the better, many dark months... so brighten the inside into glowing warm colours.
Always enjoyed how exceptionally well designed the small places are, and comfortable!
Have an amazing weekend, two years is not long to work at flipping for profit, after all you have a family, earnings, and writing for Hive!
