They agreed to let us do light renovation at the beginning but then they refused to let my contractor in.

Updated the bathrooms, fresh paint and updated light fixtures.

You can get:-$10,000 per unit for mini-splits - $5,000 per unit for knob and tube removal - 75-100% off insulation- FREE light bulbs and light fixture- FREE thermostats- FREE Shower HeadsWe just got $20,000 for knob and tube removal at a 4 unit and $30,000 to replace this shared boiler at a 3 family we own.

I wanted to shed light on this matter.

I am thinking 8k for floors. 6k for siding replacement / frame/ termite repair, 2k for bathroom / shower/ tub refurbishing, 600 optional for 2 toilets installed, 2k for countertops + sink,  400 for light fixtures, then 4k optional for cabinets .

I don't plan on doing a whole bunch of renovations but i do plan on updating the kitchens and re-insulating the attics and updating lighting and painting the inside. now for my questions...

Motion activated flood lights and cameras.

We went with a modern/rustic theme - added string lights in the back yard, black paint on the stone fireplace, and a mix of modern and rustic furniture and light fixtures, etc. 

So if you're looking to sell for $500k and have an in-place $225k VA loan that's going to be assumed, they need to have $275k to put down, unless you want to carry a note (I see that light bulb that just lit up over your head, OP :P ).Pragmatically, I don't think this is for buyers or buyer's agents to ask about, that would be throwing spaghetti at the wall, unless maybe the home is in a military base town.

200 pounds of rafters sounds a little light for a 24' span.
