I just met with the guy last month.California may be your cup of tea.  

Creating a consistent theme for the entire house… farmhouseNew drywall and paint interior and exteriorFixing the bamboo hardwood floorsChanging out the light fixtures interior and exteriorPainting and restoring the bathroom vanities Tile paint for the bathroom floors and showersLandscapingChanging out the toilets to eco friendly ones Adding a nest thermostatSealing and patching parts of the roof Drywalling and painting the garage Adding new appliances Staging What was the outcome?

Yup, I drink from that cup of being frugal. 

If it's in decent shape, I would do a couple upgrades to appeal to potential homeowners (adding window shutters or bark mulch outside, an accent wall, nicer light fixture in living room, etc. etc.)

Here's what the quote covers:- Conversion of 2 bedroom, 1 bath main house to 3 bedroom, 2 bath (~1040 sf footprint)- Demolition of existing walls (existing dining room wall, wall between kitchen and living, bathroom closet)- Finished Shell (Reframing opening to living room and kitchen, shifting openings for bathroom/bedroom, new walls at bathroom and dining, level - Replace all aluminum windows with fiberglass windows and screens- Upsizing plumbing, and relocating fixture locations as necessary- Upgrading electrical panels- Assume heat pump and ductless mini-split for heating and cooling- An allowance for kitchen appliances including combination range, hood, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and washer/dryer- An allowance for mid-grade plumbing and lighting fixtures (Delta, Kohler, or equivalent)- Mid-grade plumbing and lighting fixtures (Delta, Kohler, or equivalent)- Ikea cabinets or equivalent with solid surface countertops, includes island- Assume solar system to be installed on the house including battery storageFor the garage ADU, the garage would need to be demoed and rebuilt, but we would benefit from building within the setback since the garage is on the property lines.

What's different than a tenant not paying their rent and some wanker who wants you to teach them how to run a money making business for nothing more than a cup of coffee? 

Even the type of wood floor, tile, different colors of paint, bath fixtures, lighting etcAlways give specs and be very specific as you mention, otherwise it can cost you later on down the road

You also deal with endless bull **** with there’s not enough cups, I can’t find the house, I saw one hair in a corner, I thought this was going to be as good as the four seasons, yada yada.

My focus is on wholesaling properties in Greensboro, NC, and I am eager to learn from experienced professionals in the field.If you are a seasoned real estate wholesaler or investor in the Greensboro area, I would love to connect over a cup of coffee.
