I prefer to buy homes that i can add value to before renting them, either by renovating a kitchen or bathrooms or making the curbside appeal slightly better.

@Jacob Munson Make sure you include costs to furnish the place, kitchen stuff, linens, supplies, nice looking decorations etcI'd be curious what others have spent but my guess for a 3 bedroom house with a pool is between 30-40K from bare house to ready to rent.

@Rabia Khan leverage buyers agent experience. look for HOA cash reserves, check how old or recent HVAC is, kitchen appliances etc. the more recent and updated they are, the better it is for you as you dont have to invest in maintenance or capital expenditures.

If no then they need interior access to each other and having a second kitchen may be an issue. 3.

You can see this all the time on trucks: 'ABC Plumbing - Specializing in remodels, baths, kitchens, tile, etc'What this means is that they are really not good at anything and desperate to take on any job just to make a few bucks.

In-laws will be living in a bedroom (it is a 5 BR home) and will be sharing kitchen and family room with us.

I've been rehabbing properties for over twenty years so I don't need a general contractor to oversee the project for me.would you call a licensed plumber or licensed handyman for the kitchen sink?

The scope of repairs include: complete renovation of master bathroom, kitchen, and guest bathroom.I spent about $1,700 on materials for the master bathroom (vanity, lighting, tile, grout, 2 medicine cabinets, cement, drywall, etc.).

Hi BP Community,I'm trying to pull quotes for new kitchen remodel and updated bathrooms for 2 BR / 1 BA apartments (~800 SF) in Rhode Island.

Paint, floors, new kitchen, and bathroom updates.
