How about IRA requirements, for instance to be a real estate professional you need to document x# of hours (which is nearly impossible to do w/a W2 job.)

A general guideline of a certain amount per square foot might be nice for planning, but I would never use that number when I have a potential property identified.

Katrina Eileen did a wonderful job (based out of Seattle, WA)

Included in the cost of a major kitchen remodel is updating a 200 square foot kitchen with 30 linear feet of top-of-the-line custom white cabinets with built-in sliding shelves and other interior accessories.

The lender plans to finance 80% of the purchase price and 100% of the renovations for my property, which is approximately 3000 square feet, renovation loan amount of around $50,000.

I like in the Washington DC market, which is an appreciation market.

I am running into budget and financing issues with that strategy being here in NW Washington State. 

(square footage, facing direction, driveway position, quality of finishings etc). 

I guess the owners squared up with the lenders last second.
