Nice oak cabinets and kitchen appliances.

Generally contractors also do free bids, but I like to pay some to come check out a property with me so they can give me bids on the spot and then you can determine where you can save some cost by doing some things yourself and deducting from the bids.If someone knows you’re new they may exaggerate those numbers but eventually you’ll be able to call bluffs :) Also - bigger pockets has an estimating rehab costs book!

For all you betting on Oak Park.... this is interesting and GREAT news! 

I think putting real wood against anything wood-look looks bad, and this 2.25" medium oak vs full plank gray is about the clashiest it can get. 

TFW appraisal services - Thomas white  residential and commercial out of Oak ridge TNBP would not let me post this number experienced appraisers

In my opinion - use the paint to cover blemishes and hide ugly, outdated wood (like red oak), just don't layer it on til it looks like a wedding cake.

The rehab quote I got is as following: Kitchen: $1,800.00 Caulk/paint white area around cabinets $250.00 Sand/Finish existing cabs $150.00 Tile backsplash above existing cabinets $300.00 New range Varies Stainless Vent Fan above range $300.00 30”x12” over range oak wall cabinet $200.00 12”x30” oak wall cab $200.00 New cabinet handles $150.00 New faucet $250.00 Hall: $350.00 Remove mirror, repair holes, repaint walls and trim

I’m a big fan of leaving the old oak features and incorporating the new white a grey color scheme.

Which come to find out is surprisingly easy to do if you dont handle your accounting correctly.I also have a CPA firm that is in the Stone Oak area that I have really enjoyed working with as well. 

My wife and I have bought a couple of properties in Oak Cliff, and have looked a little in 75215.
