@John WeidnerIt's in Streamwood IL.Account ClosedThe original repair bid came in at 23k which included all new windows and HVAC (and of course flooring, kitchen cabinets, bath, tile etc).  

A house down the street sold for slightly less but had a bigger lot and a few upgrades such as tile and wooden floors.  

I like the idea of the wood-look ceramic in the shower.

Roofing can also be an expensive nightmare...we often find 3-4 layers of cedar shakes then a couple of layers of roofing tile on sagging pine planks 1-2 inches apart.

The black is adhesive left from them prying up the asbestos tiles.

Some of the updates I want to make are built-in micro-wave, replace the tile in the kitchen and the carpeting in the living room with all porcelain tile.  

. $1000 on carpet/paint, and about $1500 on kitchen and bath tile, sinks, toilet, etc.

@Christopher TellesYou are looking at about $5,000 per bathroom which would include labor and materials (demo of the old bath, new tub, new diverter and trim kit, new vanity with granite or cultured marble top, new sink faucet, new toilet, new tile surround, new tile floor, and lastly a towel / shower rod).

Some of the rest were upgraded finishings--stainless appliances, tiled shower surround, granite, etc. 

Project update for our single family colonial flip in Plainville, CTTwo things I forgot to mention in the previous update is that the tile has been laid in the new 2nd floor bathroom, and the cutout between the kitchen and dining room was completed as well today.
