If I can estimate 1 unit, then all I have to do is to multiply times the # of units.So basic items like flooring, kitchen cabinets, painting, bathroom cabinets and bathroom sinks.

Demoing - cabinets, drywall, and a dividing wall.

The cheapest option in the long run is actually a high quality kitchen with solid wood cabinets and granite countertops. 

My dilemma is this:Stuck between using normal VA, $280k pp @ 5.35% and using $15k of personal investments (which I am really tied to because it wasn't easy accumulating) to fund cosmetic upgrades (upgrading floor to LVP throughout, resurfacing + painting cabinets, replacing counter tops with quartz, exterior/interior paint, appliances, and a new front door).

By the 7th unit, I could do the same amount of work in 3 weeks: flooring, tile, kitchen cabinets, granite counters, plumbing fixtures, lighting fixtures, painting, etc. 

Replace cabinets: Re-doing the bathroom/kitchen so this is a given.Other questions:Do I need to have someone come in and remove drywall to figure out if we need to tear out the walls due to smoke smell in the insulation?

.- Don't ever paint 1970's cabinets to save costs.

Great callI'm in the middle of a rehab that I tore all the framing out of and salvaged for the entry and wall movesI also kept the 8 foot slider-wood and am going to have it rehabbed by a cabinet company for way less than purchasing a new one forsome of the fixtures were just so calcified that they would not workI saved some of the old light fixtures and refurbished them modern getto- they look really coolthe thing is though is storage- you can rent a connex for a few bucks a month until your ready for the stuff that way they are right there on the property and your not going to a storage unit for the stuff your rehabbingI also kept most of the trashed cabinets- all wood but I'm going to sand blast them then verithane, they will turn out really cool- ive done this in the pastgood luck on your projectenjoy

We have modified kitchen design and added extra cabinets and Insland etc so that drove higher cost.For us some lesson learned, you want to go much details in contract and this is part where I need to learn and it is not easy to deal with contractors.

We get our granite and cabinets for our flips from Cabinets and Granite Direct on West 130th and Brookpark Rd.
