A couple from around Detroit came up the their second home in the North part of Michigan, and found a raccoon in the bath tub.

It makes it look as if it's done in purpose and gives a little foyer space to take off your shoes.If a wall has been taken down between rooms and the flooring has a gap right along that former wall, I do the same as above: Fill it in with marble tiles.If I have a very small bathroom where I need to redo the floor with tiles - I build a small false wall in front of the bathtub: furred out with 2"x4" sideways and plywood on top.

I have a good tenant who's going to let me know if anything goes wrong, even if it's just that the bathtub needs caulk.5.

You can probably get a whole new HVAC system (furnace, compressor, coil) for $3200-3700 for this house.TOTAL = $29,550You're still missing a lot of things in this estimate.For example:- Demo labor- Dumpsters- Sheetrock Installation and Repairs- Bathtubs, Showers- Rough Electrical and Plumbing Work- Finish Trim (Baseboards, Shoemolding, Casing, etc)- Roof, Siding, Gutter Repairs- CleaningAfter I get this number, I add 10-12% to it.

replace stove/dishwasher ( used / discount items )bathroom - replace old bathtub optionscan the bathtub be "resurfaced" since it is stained ?

There was an instance before of one investor I knew who bought a house at auction.When the city annexed the area years ago houses had the option of connected to the street sewer and the city did it but it costs many thousands of dollars.This particular property owner connected to the street themselves without telling the city.So the new owner buys it and city wants to impose unknown usage charges and fines for years of illegal hook up.The property was having bathtub and drain issues and at first the new buyer couldn't figure out what was going on.The previous owner didn't also decommission the old sewage tank properly.The city worked with them to refix the line but they still had to pay reduced fines etc.

I was particularly excited because I had a full months' rent paid a month before my first mortgage payment was due, and that was going to be the start of my contingency fund.A couple of days after moving in, my tenant called me to say the bathtub wasn't draining properly.

(Other than occasionally being grossed out that the bathtub didn't drain.)

Wiring to additions to real wood laminate on cabinets to bathtub/tile/coutertop reglazing which actually I own a company performing such work now.I never lost money on a deal.
