The challenge for Texas is you are competing against new and remodeled apartment complexes.

I started building in 2020 and prefer it now over remodeling in many regards.

Along with the complete remodel, those verified repairs ended up selling the house in about a week.

You don't want a call from a guest that a toilet is running and you have to pay a plumber to repair just that. 

It's been a few weeks since I reached out but I am moving into the remodeling phase on my property.  

On repair costs, I've been advised in the past to use $15 sqft for moderate repairs and $30 spft for big remodels.

Purchase price: $55,000 Cash invested: $65,000 Sale price: $140,000 First complete renovation all but reframing--new electrical, HVAC, plumbing, complete bathroom and kitchen demo and remodel.

Full disclosure, I recently started coaching rehab for them since I have 20 years experience in remodel and design.

The Spokane market has been very good to me here and my contracting business focuses on mid-high end remodels and ADU conversions.

For example, on what I thought was a relatively simple project in a bathroom reno which was fully gutted down to the studs already, I had more than one quote for over $7k to run pex supply lines and rough in a shower drain and toilet drain off of an existing main stack, all of which ended up costing me about $200 in pex lines, PVC fittings, and sawzall blades.If you need any hardwood flooring repaired, patched, or refinished, you can't beat Dave's Hardwood Flooring out of Blaine - $3k spent with them fully brought one of my duplex unit's original 100+ year old maple floors back to life.If you're putting in any stone counters in your kitchens or for bathroom vanities, Twin City Discount Granite have been awesome to work with, and consistently have the best pricing I've found in the area on fully installed granite and quartz.I also have a great drywall guy, as well as a really good carpet install guy - feel free to DM me if you want either of their contact info!
