I am a starting wholesaler and I want to have a form a deck as I am marketing for a deal and have been making calls.

@Jessica H.Here in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg if you know cabin construction or even handyman, deck repair, spa/hot tub.

The home is livable but could really use some updates in the kitchen & baths, new windows and flooring, a new deck, some interior paint, and some landscaping.

I created a little pitch deck and financial analysis on a property in Atlanta.

Purchase price: $538,000 Sale price: $1,350,000 Completely Renovated, Stunning 5 Bedroom, 4 Bath Center Hall Colonial features a Grand Marble Entry Foyer, Formal Living room, Dining room, and Gorgeous State-of-the-art Kitchen with white Custom cabinetry, Carrara marble contrasted with a beautiful navy-blue glass backsplash, sliders onto a huge two-tiered deck overlooking a private wooded backyard.

Where are you guys going to find these other than having a contractor on deck to give you estimates?

Fully permitted remodel includes all new double vinyl windows, doors and trim, interior & exterior paint, sizeable deck, flooring, water heater and much more!

For really high end finishes and upgrades, count on $300 per sq. ft.So, if you are talking mid level higher end homes in CA and just the interior (no windows, stucco, roof, foundation,  landscaping, etc) then the price is under those figures.In my Beverly Hills flip, it is just over 3000 sq. ft. and the interior portion of the rehab (demo, architectural design, engineering, rough framing - added load bearing beams, moved load bearing walls, low voltage wiring, rough electrical and plumbing (some existing is used) or repositioned), finish electrical and plumbing, flooring (wood) plus tile in bathrooms and kitchen, new interior solid core doors and hardware, drywall (about 40%- 50% of existing was used), paint, custom cabinetry with custom stain, cabinet hardware, kitchen appliances - Viking) all of this will run me about $250k or just over $80 per sq. ft. not including any permit fees or project manager fees.Now, I am also doing new windows and exterior doors and sliders, roof, landscaping, decking, BBQ buildout, etc. and my total budget is $350k ($113 per sq. ft.) 

I am a newer investor, so please take my advice lightly.As you are trying to contact the owner, consider running the numbers a few different ways, as an educational exercise.1) Blade / RebuildMake a few calls to get an estimate for blading the current house, and then do the same for a new construction that would fit well with the neighborhood comps.2) Rehab CostIf you have a friend that is a contractor, buy her / him a nice lunch and go tour the property together.

So we foreclosed on them (cost $1,000 in fees) then added a deck and a new metal roof ( $3,000) then started renting it for $500 a month to a new tenant, she rented it for 2 years and then we evicted her, put new carpet and laminate in ($3,000) then found a new renter for $500 a month for 1 more year.
