All while keeping within budget, adding header beams and permits etc.  

Just remember for next time if someone "cleans gutters" off of Groupon does not mean they can do contracting work.You need to see body of work with doing back splashes, other jobs repairing beams etc.Mike Holmes mentions it's one of the number one mistakes consumers make to think a deck guy can do a bathroom, or a kitchen guy can do a retaining wall etc.  

After this, I was told they found rotted piers and beams which will cost another $4K.It's been raining alot in San Antonio so it has caused major delays in replacing the rotted piers/beams with new ones.

The cost of repairs was 70k+, which included new insulation, new rafters and beams in the roof, new roofing, new heating and air units (since they are in the attic), etc.Now I am in two minds as to whether or not pursue this home further.

However, I'm from Atlanta and am laser focused on buy & hold over the long term in Raleigh, NC.I look forward to meeting and working with others on this platform!

Big hole in ceiling in living room exposing pipes which look as if they were leaking before.Basement- tons of mold, asbestos on pipes, some split beams evident in basement.I have the house in contract at 45-50% of ARV. $62K purchase price. $25K estimated cosmetic repairs (budgeted for likely overbudget).Rehabbers- what is your minimum criteria for taking on projects.

Details below for anyone interested and, as always, I would appreciate any of your thoughts.PropertyARV $100,000 - This is best guess until I am able to dig a little furtherAsking Price $82,000He owes $72,000Price at end of call $70,000 "give or take"3/2/1 pier & beam 1612 sq ft w/ detached 2 car garage w/ plumbing in the back of the property, a 12 x 10 shop,  It sits on 2 and a half lots according to the seller.

The biggest thing I need done right now is a load bearing wall with a chimney torn out and braced with a Glue Lam Beam.  

I put in steel beams vertically along one wall to "pin" the wall floor to ceiling.

@Dustin Beam - congrats on your first 12!
