We want to provide out of state , or in state investors a service that will go to your properties, take pictures, of the properties inside/out , take measurements of each space, including measurements of cabinets, doors, windows ect. we will send all info , and then set up for bids and work to be completed . soooo...if anyone can give me any insight on how to move forward i would be greatful.

We would rather not have a 20k escrow from a 203k that we don't use up right away, but would like access to the HELOC if need be for cabinets, etc.

'In a recent Rasmussen poll was this nugget: "Despite the support for Clinton to be secretary of state, 70% of voters think Obama should reach out and appoint new people for his Cabinet rather than including more people who served in the Clinton administration."'

At the closing I was told the end of the year was a big factor in my offer being accepted.I bought it with the help of a hml and will be doing alot of repairs, new flooring, kitchen cabinets/counters, new windows, alot of stuff that will help the houses value but strictly from a rental standpoint is not entirely needed.

This way the GC can easily bid out each part of the job, and get me a bid much more quickly than if he has to consolidate based on my "room to room" list of things to do.I'll then have my GC give me a labor bid broken down into the following components:- Permits- Demo/Dumpster- Foundation- Roof Framing- Roof Felt/Shingles- Siding- Gutters/Soffits/Fascia- Decks/Porches- Landscaping- Doors- Windows- Wall Framing/Sheetrock- Electrical Rough- Electrical Final- Plumbing Rough- Plumbing Final- HVAC Rough- HVAC Final- Kitchen Cabinets/Countertops- Bathroom Cabinets- Bathroom Fixtures- Interior Paint- Exterior Paint- Carpet- Hardwood- Tile- Vinyl- OtherOther could consist of anything from install mini-blinds to replacing outlet covers to installing appliances.This generally gives me (and the GC) enough detail that the job can be accurately estimated, and if things change (or surprises are found), we can adjust individual areas accordingly.This also gives me a good idea how much each of his subs will be making, allowing me to figure out what his profit margins will be -- giving me some negotiating help if needed.If your contractors have an issue with filling this out, try telling them, "My lender is requiring me to break it down this way in order to approve the loan."

the 'rails' screwed down to bottom of cabinet they also had systems for 'blind' corner cabinets that swiveled and THEN pulled out.

I have a property thats worth $211,950 but is in need of a few repairs such as New Paint, Needs a Stove, A/C, Windows, Needs new Cabinets and maybe some doors replaced.

I'm curious why you used white cabinets in one house, and wood grain in the other. 

They tore out all carpet, all cabinets are destroyed, the bathroom is sagging due to them letting toliet clog and over flow.
