Currently doing a full bathroom remodel.

We will be putting $3,700 down, and borrowing $15,000 over 4 years at 5%, which is 4x the interest rate our relatives make on their savings in a bank CD, making both them and us very happy with the terms of the transaction.After closing, we anticipate ~$4000 in rehab costs to bring this very tired unit up to date, which will include refinishing the hardwood floors, complete repainting, new kitchen flooring, new counter top, new appliances, new lights, blinds, fans, toilet, etc.

I've been involved in several areas of residential contracting, and have owned businesses such as remodeling, paint contracting, and landscaping.

It's going to be older/neglected real estate, so the sellers will generally go along with it if it helps get the house sold.Example:Identified a below-grade un-permitted basement bathroom with a jenky pump lifting the toilet waist up to ground level and into the sewer system that was all sorts of a hot mess, no way anything about that bathroom is up to code. 

I can do a variety of things involved with remodel.

@Arlen Chou, have you done any remodeling on these units.  

How long did the remodel take and how long does it usually take from the time you buy it until the time you sell it?

Growing up in New Orleans, my Dad taught me how to do small things around the house as he remodeled our 100 year old home from top to bottom.
