Hi Adam,I’ve worked with a handful of great rehab contractors in the Tampa Bay area over the years, and I’d be happy to point you in the right direction depending on what you need—whether it’s a full gut rehab, cosmetic updates, or anything in between.

Another thing is if you have black mold and you gut the property make sure you clean the air as well as you will still test positive for black mold, the spores can be floating around in the air still even if everything was removed! 

Yesterday, I walked through a property that needed a full gut, but I didn’t bring a contractor with me, I only brought a friend who's somewhat knowledgeable in some renovations.

We completely gutted and finished the basement including adding a kitchenette and 3/4 bath, moved out and are now renting both apartments.

Took me 2 years to completely gut and re do everything in the house.

It's almost a full gut.

Purchase price: $260,000 Cash invested: $120,000 Sale price: $535,000 Complete gut, new front and rear walls, all new electric, HVAC, plumbing, roof, deck, windows, interior What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

What does your gut say?

Have a criteria, follow your gut, and you will likely do fine.

so if its a full gut probably not since starting from scratch any way .
