the necessary repairs are as follows: water heater missing, furnace looks old. paint all rooms, new flooring needed in most rooms, ( something i can do myself), recondition kitchen, replace entry doors. the house already has a newer roof and newer vinyl siding, virtually no work necessary on the outside. given my rehab skills, nothing will need to be contracted out, so i am able to save a tremendous amount of money on the rehab, which is why the following rehab number is so low.
