Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Recently purchased my first house to use as a primary residence, currently I am renovating the kitchen and adding a full bathroom to the first floor.

Purchase price: $90,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Buy and hold that I still have to this date.

Quote from @Jules Aton: If you are doing high grade laminate that should be good.

What I usually see is that they start with the average $/sq.ft of the sales price in the area.

I'd highly suggest getting to some local meetup groups in MKE:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...When you say you are considering alternative financing options, what does that mean?

It seemed like a long-term play with less price or industry volatility.

Floor plans?

I would highly encourage paying a GC to walk deals out the gate, have them give a scope of work so you can see what items costs.

On the flip side, the margins aren’t quite as high as with rehab projects.

This means understanding the neighborhoods, pricing trends, and what buyers are looking for.
