Valué houses on Her neighborhood aré from 400 to a 800 depending of they aré upgraded or not . That is why she tinos The extra money is worth it 

I think my aunt is gettin ríp off . Pelease advise .. She has an old house in boca raton florida very good location. Her house doesnot have A.C imagine that... She is around 60 and believes evrything she hears, peole take advantage always. I want to help . When she have called for estimates for A.C they all Say , she has to change The Windows first.

How much can be The cost for impact Windows around 17  and The labor ? Also to change three doors with their frames.they aré charging Her about 20 thousand and as a flipper i think that is crazy but YouTell me please. They even want to make a loan for Her that way she can Afford them 6 percent interest . Please understand woman around 60 living alone Two jobs low income. I dont have contacts in palm beach área that specialeze in impact Windows .they have to be local and with proven experience. I told Her she can get a line of Credit for 4 % variable , draw for 10 years.

I hate popcorn, if the place is vacant , ill will spray small sections and scrap it. i did that in one of my flipping projects. the ceiling was low , I wouldnt try to do it myself if it is high . another thing to consider is if it has been painted before with oil . that can be harder to removed. If it is just the original water paint just water will do it. cover your hair and put something to cover your nose , it will get messy. 

After the removal, depending how bad it looks you can paint it or if its many imperfections , ill rent a machine in home depot and do knockdown texture in the whole place.
