Hi Nishil, also new investor here in the north NJ area, what's been the most helpful connection for you on bp? also looking to expand my network and interested to hear your perspective, look forward to connecting!

If you are handy or even if you aren’t, there are somethings that you can do yourself to cut costs or save money to upgrade in other areas.  

As a new investor it is hard to find  the people who do good work for reasonable prices or as we like to call it “investor friendly.”   If you look for estimates I am sure they are all over the place.  

I use handyman services that are either referred from my local REIA or FB groups. I currently have 2 that I work with. One comes with drama and the other with not so much drama.

I have seen people complain about re-glazing tile that the finish doesn’t last as long.  Look around.  With the right people you may be surprised that putting up new tile may not be as costly as you thought 

Definitely sounds like you have at least one winner there haha, working on building my network and team to balance out quality/price ratio, I just wanted to freshen up the tiles, but will look at other options thank you for your input it was helpful!

@George Chang I would pay $7,500 for the work you described. Learning how to renovate on an investor budge as opposed to a homeowner budget is far different. Good Luck

yes for sure! trying to figure out what everything costs, thank you for your input, do you have any recs for contractors?

That’s probably way over estimate if you are keeping the kitchen cabinets and just reglazing all the bathroom tile. 

makes sense thank you for your reply!

Hi all, I am analyzing a deal for a 2BR 1Ba apt in North NJ and plan to renovate kitchen, bathroom and some flooring, maybe open a small wall connecting kitchen to living space, plan to save cabinets in the kitchen with new appliances and reglazing tiles/tub in bathroom, would $30k be realistic estimate or is that way under budget? 

Please let me know what you guys think, would appreciate any input thank you!
