A kitchen refresh here or there but my FIL just remodeled my mother's entire kitchen and can easily do and has done plumbing, electrical, roofing, general carpentry, etc.

Why not dust that offer off, check your remodel quoates out and go back in with another offer on that one?

An e-mail from a close associate from Keller Williams that works almost exclusively with investors here in CA.There is a great FHA loan program allows remodeling or repair cost to be financed with the purchase.Just 3 % down 1-4 units (at least one needs to be owner-occupied) Loan amounts up to 110% of current appraised value.

Some new construction and some remodels.
