I like the high end Ikea cabinets and in fact made a custom island in my home using their high end cabinets and butcher block counter top.The problem I have had in using IKEA in the past for flips or rentals is that they:1) Need you to complete the drawing in their modeler.

The butcher block countertops at Ikea were a thought because although you do have to seal them about every 6 mos., if they stain, you can just lightly sand them out and reseal to a new looking counter.My brain is fried at this point and any and all thoughts are appreciated.

Original seller contacts bank and brings back payments current and keeps them current why they try to get the current owner who wrapped them off of title.If the home does not have sufficient equity then this could just be a plain loser and if both the original seller is now in such a deep hole with back payments they may not be able to cure.. and if the new buyer who wrapped them is just fibbing and trying to rip rents... this could easily end up a foreclosure. its for all those reasons I wish the guru's and coach's would just not recommend Sub too its just a killer for sellers who are not experienced enough in RE to understand how to protect themselves and it allows undercapitalized folks who  think this is a great strategy to get into properties only to butcher them. 

Registers, door stops, oops we forgot the 1" L bracket so we can screw the butcher block counters to the cabinets.

You could do the main countertop is something more expensive, and then the island in butcher block to save money and add some variety to the finishes. 

Lots of clothes, furniture, art, cars, a long since spoiled butchered deer in a freezer that had been unplugged for about a year.

@Joe Butcher Good luck on the property this weekend!!

I learned it from Roger Butcher a real estate trainer from Sacramento Ca. in 1990. 

I wonder why a butcher at the meat counter can't write a book on how to conduct brain surgery in this country, I think it has something to do with the American Medical Association.

@Anika Zappe thanks for the connection Anika!
