Has anyone here renovated someone else’s rental?

There is a lady nearby me offering a small 1 bedroom house for 600/month + shared utilities. On Zillow and other sites, similar homes go for 1800/month or more. It sounded too good to be true until I talked to a colleague of mine that actually lives in the house next door, and has a similar deal paying 600/month for a slightly larger house. He said the landlady charges really low as a thank you to the organizations that we work for (non-profit). He really likes her as his property manager and has been there for about 3 years.

The reason why I ask is because the place is in need of some renovation. I’d be offering 10k into renovations with a 1 year lease, bringing down my cost to rent to $1,433/month before utilities, still better than the market average for now a newly renovated place.

Anyone in SoCal know what I can get with a 10k renovation? Is this something worth doing? Am I missing something?

Edit: math

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
