Or the roof has major leaks which has caused significant damage to the decking and the ceiling is crumbling (So now you need to add new roof and decking to the budget).

I put $550,000 into the demo and construction of this new single family home with over 2900 SF, 2 stories, 3 view decks, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, large chef’s kitchen with top of the line appliances, huge yard, attached 2 car garage, and built in BBQ, fridge and bar seating for 7 on the backyard patio.

I'd just keep money on deck for such repairs and pay for them as they occur.

Purchase price: $123,000 Sale price: $250,000 Updated this 3 br/ 3 bath tri-level home - replaced siding, roof, deck, sidewalk, garage door, front door, all interior doors, all cabinets/granite countertops, all new tile in 3 full baths, new paint & flooring.

Its in really good shape according to her and the landlord has made upgrades on the floors and deck for the property.

The deck, carport, cement pouring, sod/landscaping, etc. etc. will bring it up to $440k total investment.

And keep in mind that a "vacation" might consist of visiting a family member & helping them build a deck.

Looks like a rooftop deck maybe?

I definitely want to see the decks and views
