Finding the time to remodel can be tricky for me as the mom.Now, on to my evil plan: I would like to rent out our Cedar Hills house and purchase a new place with a basement apartment.Our mortgage is roughly 1100/month.

I had drove and looked at it a couple of days ago and it is abandoned and needs to be dozed over due to structural instability and cost to remodel.

This was a complete gut/remodel.

I know a house a few blocks over sold yesterday for $150,000, not remodeled.

There are currently a number of software options that are being geared to contractors for remodels and new construction - which translates to rehabs. 

For this example, my assumptions were a full gut remodel of a 3bed/1bath home in Philadelphia county.

A contractor who is great with kitchen remodels may not have the expertise you need to deal with roof damage.

Sadly, from what I see and read, little effort is made by the Biggerpockets community and RE investors at-large to go "green" unless there's a payback.Well, I can tell you as a Green Builder and Educator, building or remodeling in an environmentally conscious way, adds more benefits than mere dollars.

Two years ago we got a screaming deal on a family property which we purchased (with a mortgage) and then did a complete remodel.

What are some recommendations on learning how to remodel?
