Check with the city/village/state where you live to see if they offer FREE GRANTS to pay for exterior remodeling, windows, landscaping.My mom was given 15,000 in grants and an interest free loan of 15,000 by the village.

All units need remodeled, but the 3br house, is not as bad as the doubles.

We've done remodels, but its the customers ideas, not mine.

I found a two story that needs remodeling (mostly cosmetic) that I can purchase cheap.

I was looking for a contractor who does free estimates - to take with me to look at a property....I didn't realize there were:Additions & Remodels contractorsCarpenty contractorsDecks/porches contractorsElectircal contractorsDrywall contractorsWindows/doors contractorsand about 35 more!

Complete remodeling of unit 8953 A which is the leasing office/model in 2005.16. 5 New Maytag washers & dryers leased Through Jetz Laundry Inc. in 2004.17.

Gives the countertops a delicate look.7) I buy sinks from the fabricator because that way they can cut the sink hole there at the shop. 8) I'm hoping my blue granite is going to sell my remodeled house.

The distressed property owner either can not afford the remodeling necessary to sell the house or just does not want to deal with the hassle of remodeling the house.I would say that normally a deal is not going to be found in a house that is listed or was listed recently.

I am NOT trying to be the richest man I am interested because I love business and I love to remodel houses.This is a passion of mine.Thanks a million (pun-intended)

So buying a property at 80% of ARV that needs lets say only 5% in remodeling is only going to make you a very expensive hobby.Now if your strategy is long term rentals, like it sounds, then I would determine my rental number requirements and go off of those, with buying at a discount as a secondary priority.
