        "text": "Cosmetic updates focus on appearance, while full rehabilitation addresses structural integrity, mechanical safety, and code compliance. A cosmetic update involves repainting walls, replacing interior trim, and updating cabinet hardware or light fixtures in a well-maintained home. In contrast, bank-owned foreclosures often suffer from extended vacancy, deferred maintenance, or stripped utility lines. Foreclosure rehabs commonly require repairing compromised framing, replacing damaged drywall, resetting plumbing rough-ins, and completing total kitchen or bathroom rebuilds before aesthetic work can begin. Deciding between the two depends on a thorough walk-through inspection.",
