This is exactly what people are doing right now in the investing community. People are buying houses at a significant discount, then updating them, the either renting them out or passing them on(for a profit) to another investor/landlord.

Depending on what kind of remodeling project a person is considering will definitely make a difference. Kitchens, bathrooms and decks seem to be the most popular in our area and makes the biggest impact on potential buyers. These projects definitely require more than a coat of paint to spruce them up unlike other rooms but they are the ones that are noticed the most when people come to take a look at a home. I have spent much time on a number of my clients homes these past few years doing these projects and it has made a big difference.

You may not get a 100% return on your investment but it will probably make your home a lot easier to sell because it looks better and more modern than many of the others out there in a similar price range.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
