Hipsters love the ugly old toilets apparently, funkier the color the better.  

Anyone have a good app they use for estimating remodeling costs??

I did live in the single family while remodeling my primary and that worked great for the few months I was there.

After assessing the cost of remodeling, and either renting or selling the property weighed against the advantages of selling as is to a builder it seems to make more sense to sell it as is. 

While you do not have to deal with the tenants, toilets and termites - it is not 100% passive as some make it out to be, so just be aware of that going in.

I'll be doing an extensive full gut remodel which will include an expansion of living space by doing a partial garage conversion making this 2 bed 2 bath SFH a 3 bed 3 bath SFH, adding about 300sq feet of living space.

My wife and I ended up moving into our 360 square foot ADU instead of the beautiful home we remodeled and expanded.

We remodeled every unit bringing the value to $1200 a month from $625.What was the outcome?

Completely remodeled it and held onto for around a year
