I'll be doing the majority of the work but will have to sub-contract out construction of the mudroom, half-bath install, and closets.
Immediate Questions I'm concerned about:
1) Cost to rebuild mudroom. For a space that is roughly 5x6 (30 sq ft) is 4-6k enough budget for this? Scope of work involved tearing down existing structure, rebuilding, framing, insulation, electrical, etc.)
2) I don't really have a large master bedroom. One of the room is adjacent to the the mudroom. Would it be worth the time and money to push out the bedroom and tie together some of the costs of redoing the mudroom? How much would an additional 100k cost?
3) How much does it cost to get someone to frame some closets, add lighting, and drywall/finish? I need three closets done.
4) Are any of my costs overly under and/or under budgeted?
Financing Questions:
I was considering getting a personal loan or a personal line of credit. My concern with the personal line of credit would be that I would go over the 30% usage of my credit and subsequently hurt my credit. Has anyone ever used a personal loan to pay for a fix and flip before? I've read not to disclose the exact purpose of the money because they will not loan the money if they find out you are using to buy a home. I can't do a HELOC. I need this to be a quick cash deal to get the offer accepted. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
