I bought my first home in the Bay Area (Sunnyvale) three years ago on a jumbo loan with 20% down and put everything I had into a remodel done partly by me and partly with subs.

Complete bathroom remodel with tile standup shower in master, new appliances, new back deck, refinish hardwood floors, paint.

I actually still have to complete an official walk-through with a contractor and based the estimates on a complete remodel being done - as there is foundation damage and the roof has not been done since the house was purchased in 30yrs ago.

Kitchen needed a full remodel.

@Julie McCoy I would likely feel the same way even though we just completed a HUGE remodel at my personal home that has a private entrance to a room in the basement. 

I'm specifically looking to connect with people whom have experience in remodeling homes in the DFW area.

It has a positive cash flow now as we've remodeled and raised rents over the years.

Hello, I need help remodeling this kitchen.

Ive read a lot about the BRRR strategy which involves gettting a house under market value with some cosmetic issues.. remodeling it and  then taking out a cash out refi loan assuming you will get a good margin for the new value of the house after remodeling. 

I think you're a little conservative in your reserves if it's a newly remodeled property, which is good.
