Prior to placing the building in service, M pays amounts to repair cement steps, refinish wood floors, patch holes in walls, and paint the interiors and exteriors of the building.

Their brokerage might not allow or have E & O Insurance for completing BPO's.Many appraisers also do BPO's but likely these days with so many regular home sales paying 400 to 500 a pop for appraisals likely do not do as many anymore.The cost offered to complete the BPO, timeline to complete (days,weeks), location (rural, suburban, urban core), Exterior or Interior BPO, whether map photos or drive by photos are required,etc.I do not think a broker/agent would want to complete a BPO for an unknown person as there is no surety of getting paid for the time invested.

I recently purchased a house in Woodstock, IL, that is in need of some minor work (repair exterior 2 story wood stair, replace dryer gas line, replace old window casements, etc.). 

We painted exterior/interior, installed Stainless Steel Appliances, New kitchen/bathroom/light/door fixtures, crown Molding and Kitchen Backsplash.ExteriorNew Exterior paint, carpentry/masonry repairs, new community/gym room, New landscaping, driveway fixes, plumbing leaks repairs, new pool resurfacing, new roofs where needed, water heater replacements, new water softeners and security systems.Property ManagementUpon takeover, the property occupancy dropped from 89% to 77% within 2 months.

Driving for Dollars candidates in my local community (exterior physically distressed properties).

The home is about 100 years old and plank style construction (no studs or insulation in exterior walls).It’s looking like all in this will run about $10,000.I was wondering if anyone has gone through a similar project and what the cost was.I’m located in North East PA.

From an operations stand point, make sure the quote from the contractor includes — full containment and HEPA filtered negative air movers that ideally can exhaust to the exterior, manometer with print out logs documenting the containment’s negative pressure throughout the mitigation, full removal of affected materials (drywall, baseboard), (wood framing can sometimes be sanded and then sprayed with a spor/fungicide), and finally an *inspection by a third party environmental hygienist for air clearance*.

This is a major renovation that would include interior and exterior projects.

We just need one willing to take a couple exterior photos and provide a rough idea of what the property might be worth on the market in its current condition, but have been looking for days now to no avail.
