Keep the remodel cheap by not changing the layout of the fixtures.

This was effectively a 6% risk free interest rate arbitrage thats been running for close to five years now.now I'm in graduate school and get them at 6% (interest accrues immediately), I've used it for remodels and down payments. when your done with school, you can opt for the balance to convert to a 30-year Amort.

@ Nicole Kemanjian Try reaching out to your local remodeling / homebuilder organizations.

I am a 25 year old South Denver native and have worked as a carpenter for my fathers residential remodeling company on and off for the last 10 years (throughout High School and College), since graduating college I have become increasingly interested in the business side of residential homes and have therefore been a licensed Realtor for 18 months now.

My sister is wanting to remodel her kitchen in her house in Sacramento and I'm looking for a good contractor.

Based on your original paragraph you need to raise rent and/or remodel so you can raise rents.

Hello all,I am working on remodeling my first investment, and I need to have the old, thirty-year old carpets ripped up and replaced with laminate / vinyl to look like wood for the living room, dining room and kitchen, and the three bedrooms to have new carpeting.The house in question is ~1,500 square feet, but I have gotten some extremely high estimates for the job and am wondering if I'm either misunderstanding something or not approaching this job correctly. 

Hello, Is it normal to have a "contractor's fee" defined in % for a fixed-priced house remodel contract?
