First property with a GC. Disaster!

Low offer versus high potential.

Local RA’s

Home Equity

Lipstick treatment plus full basement and master bathroom remodel.

Couldn’t finish windows and landscaping as wanted. However interior was worth the budget!
Lessons learned? Challenges?
Research GC before going with 1. We had a nightmare of an experience and ended up doing 75% or more ourselves. 3 month project turned into 10 months. Sold on day 1 so we are proud of the work put in!
