This increases the value of the homes by about $30,000.I have been using the @J Scott book on estimating rehab costs and have been able to tackle pretty much every other expense aside from this.I already factored in the additional square footage when I came up with costs for flooring, sheetrock, insulation, painting, doors, windows throughout the whole house.This particular carport has already had work done to as seen in the pictures below and there was additional siding left behind as shown in the pictures below.I know it is difficult to get an exact figure, but what is a ballpark amount?

If I can realistically tackle the rehab then I will take title. 

Not all of these issues were related to the house, but all were issues that reduced the value and are an opportunity with someone with the expertise or energy to tackle them.

Thinking like a marketing agency is right approach in this, because trying to get people to not view you as spam, bur solving a problem. 

The payment is hurting me and I'm trying to tackle it so it doesn't hurt me anymore.

Just be sure to say builders grade which is not any custon work ..formica counter tops , plain porcelain title , prefab cabinets, laminate floring , neutral colors ... you get the idea .. one why to really increase your profits on rehabs is to have a contractor do the major repairs and you or a handyman tackle the easy stuff .. laminate floors can be quite easy to install if your floors are level and trim is not installed yet .. painting can be done by a handyman ..tile work can be done also ..in some cases and some states these need to be done by a licensed contractor and permits need to be pulled .. it is different by each state .. if i saw that house with those pics, i would think your looking at at least $75-100k in rehab ( taking into consideration of Ca. higher construction costs ) it looks more like $35-50 in rehab here in Fl.

I would probably stay away... unless you can afford to buy up the whole block.There are some groups that are tackling these areas in clusters and turning "ghost towns" into viable areas by strategically bringing the entire area up at the same time through synergistic efforts of multiple investors.

You were offered retail pricing, and the rent numbers were cooked - I'd redirect the super-secret hookup to your spam folder - they're wasting your time.

My agent was going to have a talk with the listing agent tomorrow, but she said she wasn't going to talk about price much.I guess everyone tackles this differently.

Carpets need ripped out, walls need painted, windows need replaced, wood floors need refinished, kitchen and bathroom need updating, etc, etc.What order do you begin to tackle each project?
