I am under contract to purchase a 4-bedroom SFH that includes a Carriage House and a 1000 square foot Garage outside Philadelphia.

Run it by an attorney before you stick your foot in your mouth, or worse.

Expect to pay about $50-60 per linear foot for interior drain tile installation, plus the cost of the sump pump.

If you find a deal that cash flows, even if it's priced at market value, are you shooting yourself in the foot?

I remember when I was trying to get my foot in the door some people would like at me like I was crazy, but you cannot let it bother you, simply use it as motivation to continue doing what you are doing.

Expect about $100-200 per linear foot for cabinets (depending on quality) and about $30-40/sf for granite.

My husband and I have the same issue in a rental we own, but do not want to spend the 10k we were quoted to make the basement "dry" since it will never be a finished basement (6 foot ceilings).

Thanks, ive bought and borrowed many books, and still dont feel like i know enough to get my foot in the door.

Just a math problem/dilemma...Moving in can't be done for a few reasons; the home is in a different city 55 miles away, it is occupied with good tenants who have been there for 5 years, and finally being a single guy I don't need to live in a 5 bedroom 3800 square foot house!

I appreciate it, lifts some of the worry off.Anywho, the renovation is mostly cosmetic.For reference its a 1250 square foot house.
