We are putting in  new floors (there are none currently) , a fresh coat of paint, and having to redo a bathroom because of a subfloor repair, along with other knick knacks. 

Finding a good contractor is the challenge and PM companies are ripping off.

@Jeffrey McKee, The story you're wanting to paint is the path we chose! 

I just am not sure that paints the full picture. 

Translation: The house has lead paint and asbestos, as most houses built before 1978 do.

For example peeling paint will cause you to fail the inspection.

This new construct there is a listing and it is pending to build until they find the right buyer so everything is pretty much lined up for me i just have to go in and buy. and crazy to say but some of the time atleast right now new construct is cheaper than existing buys. i am thinking to just rip the bandaid off with this first deal and go from there. 100k a month is definitely my goal and i will figure out a way to get there which definitely wont be from new construction everytime. i can save money fast considering the frugal life i live and amount i work. i am currently spending a lot of time trying to find beaten up buildings whether that’s me driving around or on mls, but alaska high cost of labor makes it hard to pencil out any BRRRRs but it definitely is the best way of this game so i will continue trying to find something 

Items completed:Kitchen has been cleaned, updated cabinet hardware & painted.  

@Abiy Tedla I have mostly gone with white cabinets with black hardware on the same as is the market trend currentlyPersonally, I'm a fan of staining cabinets more so than painting since it lasts a lot longer and is more durable (plus I think it looks nicer than painted cabinets too) Additionally, using stainless steel appliances and under-mount sinks definitely adds to the oomph factor of the property even though they aren't much more expensive than their counterparts

You typically get to do cabinets, paint, floors, etc?
