When you find a property that checks all of or most of the boxes for you, trust your research and pull the trigger on an offer.3.

With a larger amount of mods you may realize some economies of scale where you will see a cost savings.

There were missing junction boxes, some really old wiring that we don't know if it's live or not but really ought to get replaced (knob and tube), no ground, unsecured splices, and no master switch at the panel.

This is going to take some out of the box thinking, and some negotiating to get the biggest bang for your buck.

I'm not sure if this would help but I am the owner of her officialDeath Certificate and in the (Informants Name) box my name is on it, I was the one who paid for her cremation and did all the legal papers after she died and I was the one who she left her Life Insurance Policy to as well as I am her 401K Beneficiary...

Have you already priced out the granite at the big box stores?

I don't think my costs are nearly as much as Russell said but if i had to guess it's still easily over a grand for me when you add in the NAR dues, mls fees, continuing education and every little thing they nickle and dime out of you like lockboxes, lockbox set up fees not to mention monthly servicing fees just for the stupid box.

Someone probably forgot to check one of those boxes, humans are humans.
