I paint the walls but I don' t replace the paneling with drywall.I rip out bad kitchen cabinets but I replace them with craigslist used onesI leave in old carpet if it is still in good shape but not a nice color. 

Without dragging the post out too much, it was essentially a gut remodel (saved cabinets with paint), new bathrooms, new hvac, new windows, new flooring, new paint interior/exterior.

Closed of existing entrance from the foyer to give the kitchen more cabinet and counter space.Replaced old cabinets with new unfinished oak cabinets and then painted them.

Are cabinets stock or custom? 

A new kitchen could be $5K for cabinets, appliances, etc, or could be $20 with me subflooring, rotten studs, new insulation, cutting through stone for a vent, etc etc etc.

I plan on getting rid of/painting over all of the brown wood paneling in this house, replacing all of the flooring, rebuilding that small deck off the master bedroom, some minor landscaping, replace the garage and front doors, replace exterior door under deck, replace all light fixtures, update the kitchen (keep cabinets and paint them white with new pulls), paint the outside and add siding to the right side and back of the house (front and other side has siding already), change out bathroom sinks and countertops, paint all the cabinets in each bathroom, perhaps install walk in shower in big bathroom that has the tub.I plan on keeping the marble flooring in the entry way and try not to replace any windows.

I have verbally told my clients the information but I think I will use your list (with attribution) :):)My short verbal spiel would be 1) handy owner occupants don't need to cash flow or make money / profit and 2nd will you have a dumpster onsite the day of closing with day labor for the demo, know EXACTLY which electrician, plumber, flooring, cabinet guy, sheetrocker.....that you will use and when will they start, the PART NUMBERS for the cabinets, flooring, paint colors, doors, light fixtures.....

In their rehabs, they would put new counters, appliances, cabinets, etc and pool and renovate the leasing office and usually add a gym.  

Changed out the tub, shower head, piping, valve, lights, toilet, sink/cabinet -cosmetic update.

Sounds like a pirate and you don't want to hire pirates to hang cabinets.
