Start will an overall number (total rehab expense), break that down to sub categories (kitchen, bath, paint), and then make sub-sub categories (cabinets, counter, appliances).

It was my first real estate transaction, everyone told me it was a bad idea, one friend begged me to lose my deposit and renege (she is now investing with me :) The only supporter of this purchase was my painter brother, who showed me how to spray paint, so I put on a hazmat suit and primed and painted the walls, ceilings, floors and inside of cabinets. 

If I took the duplex up to the prevailing new/fancy standard for rehabs in town (black appliances, new cabinets, fresh pergo floors, etc) I think they could each rent for $720-$800/month.

where did you get your cabinets and counter top.

A couple of thins to watch for: ordering cabinets from Home Depot takes 3 weeks.  

Who are the true WHOLESALE Cabinet Suppliers in Southern California?

Myself and a partner are currently about halfway though our flip.it was originally intended as a buy and hold but we decided we would be better of to flip it due to it not being entirely suited as a rental (on a huge yard that needs alot of maintenance and a little out of town).so we decided to sell it,and I will but my half of the money into another property,but rent and hold it.Anyway were currently unsure about some things and i thought it would be a good idea to come on here and ask.when we are finished,the house will be a 3 bed,two bath with a finished basement.However,we are really stuck on how much things we should update.we are in Northern BC,Canada and winter is coming fast.My partner (matt) wants to just finish up ASAP and just get it to OK standards (put in the new floor,paint the old kitchen cabinets,finish up the bathrooms and what else needs to be done and put it up for sale during the winter.Problem is that houses dont sell very fast here in the winter and can sit on the market for a long time which dosnt look good,and you tend not to make as much on them.Also...the house has stucco which is ugly as sin...the house was built in the 70's (and im sure was very stylish back then!)

All flooring has been removed, a lot of sheetrock in the ceiling and walls have been removed, much of the insulation has been removed and the kitchen cabinets and bath vanities have been removed.

BTW, those WERE NOT modular cabinets, a carpenter lived there at one time and that was all real wood, nice wood and all built in. 

I once sent out 4000 custom postcards for one of my companies that sold cabinets...
