@Brian MorrisHire your local floor refinishing company.

I probably should have said 100k, 100k (this is what is in my actual spreadsheet)Each unit should run me around 10k to completely refinish as they are 1/1 and I can do everything myself that does not require a permit (tying in electric, tying in plymbing, etc).I am looking it as 200 to buy, 200 to rehab, hopefully 750 appraisal based on local comps.Goal is to make this my springboard from duplexes to multi families with all the sweat equity i put into it.

So Ill try to provide you some insight into your cabinet dilemma. 1) First, as mentioned earlier I do not recommend you try to refinish your cabinets yourself.

Total high end interior rehab on kitchen, bathrooms, refinished original hardwood floors, finished basement, Int/ext paint, etc.

I don't trust those epoxy coating refinishing services.

Therefore, you plan to do some upgrades like: new kitchen, new bathrooms, paint, refinish hardwood/upgrade flooring, finish basement, add bedrooms - whatever it might be - then you could improve the value.

While I did a few projects myself, like the landscaping and refinishing the main staircase, the rest of the work I contracted out.

The rooftop patio is getting a coat of stain and the exterior wall there is being refinished.
