Expect to pay 1600-2200 for a stainless kitchen depending on your taste.

I don’t think it matters how you start; your tastes and objectives will change based on your experience anyway.

I must, however, satisfy some stipulations:  1) my offer must exceed the previous by 5%  2) I must put 5% down with the county clerk at the time I make my offer 3) I have 10 days to close 4) If i fail to close I forfeit the 5% down payment and also am required to make up any shortfall between the eventual sales price and the original offer 5)  My offer can in turn be upset by another bidder or the original bidder.Long story short there are too many questionmarks for my taste at this point. 

My kids know the taste of Crab, Lobster.

Again I've got a real bad taste in recent dealings with several support groups.

@Heidi Kenefick It's all a numbers game and getting into your first deal with such a big rehab job could put a bad taste of real estate in your mouth. 

Ok, most adults with good taste of food will appreciate a somewhat good wine, especially in a 300K house. 

That’s great advice, I hadn’t really considered that my good taste wouldn’t appeal to the masses :) thanks for the response, that helps a lot!
