I know they told you that you can sneak in a basement bathroom, but you can't.

Yeah I can see using the welcome aboard forums to pump up your comment numbers to make it look like they've been around a while before trying to sneak a pitch for some scam guru trash  I think warm welcomes are nice, but the carry more weight from people who have been around.

That does not work and is only for experienced renovators who know their buy box and know they will always go to the studs and redo everything.Just get out in the field, see every dump on the market, take sneak photos to show to a contractor, and get some investor and contractor friends who will be in the ballpark on the costs.
