First Potential Rehab Deal... what to offer???
28 June 2007 | 5 replies
I tend to do my own work (although jacking up and putting a foundation under, in order to raise the ceiling is beyond me) and I'm not sure I could bring this in for $50KI'm guessing you have building codes so plan on re-wiring the whole house to bring to code.Floor uneven and warped is MOISTURE, have to find it and stop it.Don't know the size of the windows but a few hundred per is about right.Carpet a few thousand.Sheetrock repair a few hundredKitchen cabinets and appliances, minimum of about $5K for CUT RATE stuff.Counter tops, $300-$3KInsulate and sheetrock basement, a few thousand.Knock out a few walls etc in the upstairs, about $5K+, moving walls is not as simple as "moving walls".Bedroom doors, $100/each, minimumLandscape and exterior paint, a few thousand."

Ever had a rental raided by SWAT or the FBI?

Police shut that one down in a raid too. normally they break a big hole in the house and tap into the electrical wire before the meter to steal juice. and the excess moisture destroys the plaster/drywall.my buddy was asked if the tenant can section off an area in the garage for legal pot growing. outside is -20 and he needed temps of 60F+. lol
