When a property offers good bones and strong location, the right renovations unlock real value. Located at 88 Oak Forest Loop in Maumelle, Arkansas (part of the Little Rock metro), this three-bedroom, two-bath single-family home offers 1,350 square feet, a two-car garage, and no HOA. Built in 1983, the property had solid fundamentals but needed comprehensive updates across major systems and finishes to transform it into a high-performing turnkey investment for real estate investors.
The home's floor plan and location made it particularly attractive for families in the Little Rock area. By addressing critical infrastructure and pairing it with thoughtful interior updates, we were able to deliver a move-in ready rental property that performs strong. This property was a perfect example of how comprehensive renovations and turnkey property management can turn a dated home into a dependable, low-maintenance rental ready to perform from day one.
The work prioritized major system replacements and interior upgrades designed to minimize future maintenance while creating broad resident appeal. Our turnkey renovation team focused on protecting the asset while delivering a clean, updated home built for rental performance.
Major system upgrades: New roof and new water heater were installed to reduce future maintenance costs. Plumbing work, HVAC repairs, and electrical repairs were completed by licensed contractors throughout.
Exterior updates: The exterior was pressure washed and received fresh paint on siding, trim, doors, shutters, and foundation. Foundation and mortar cracks were repaired, gutters were cleaned and repaired, damaged wood and siding were replaced, and new light fixtures and mailbox were installed.
Kitchen and bathroom renovations: The kitchen received new countertops, painted cabinets with repairs, a backsplash, vent-a-hood, and new dishwasher. Both bathrooms were updated with new shower and towel bars, caulking, and the hallway bathroom received a new vanity light.
Flooring and interior finishes: New carpet and vinyl plank flooring were installed throughout the rental home. All walls, ceilings, trim, and baseboards received fresh paint. New blinds, doorknobs, and doorstops were installed throughout.
Final touches: The garage was painted and the floor was pressure washed, all locks were rekeyed, professional landscaping was completed, and full cleaning ensured move-in readiness.
All the work listed and more was completed with a final rehab budget of $49,500, resulting in a clean, updated, low-maintenance home designed to perform as a true turnkey investment property.
