If some but not most houses use granite countertops, she uses granite.

Other considerations are HVAC, hardwoods, granite counter tops or re-doing the master bath.

All new copper plumbing, electrical granit countertops custom bathroom, finished basement with a fireplace and dry barNow I know we don't get dollar for dollar on what we put into rehabs but come on 32K price drop over 6 months is absurdMy only other thought was to refi at 56k which I would roughly 42k and see if the HML would be willing to hold a sec for 6 months so I wouldn't have to tie up all my cash in case something is needed in the property

These rehabs had granite countertops, hardwood floors, cermaic tiles in bathroom and all but one took a very long time to sell(this was a cape cod in july not really a good comp)This one is around the corner from you and its been on the market since march I think rehabbed. 4110 72nd ave.

Btw, just to give you an idea of prices you can find, we have two local suppliers who can do a whole kitchen (cabinets, laminate countertops, delivery and installation) for between $2800-3500.

You don't want to over spend on granite counter tops or travertine flooring if the area only supports average style upgrades.

It's not always lumber, sheetrock, counter tops and fixtures.There are many ways to find distressed sellers and properties, your job is finding them, then solving the problem, cure the problem and reap the benefits of your efforts.

That tells me a few things. 1- If the budget is fairly high I can price out nicer counter tops and appliances etc.

Is that because you were doing both the projects at the same or do you always load the sames finishes (although I noticed the cabinets/countertops were different) in every house?

I always say something like Mitsubishi 2-ton ductless system, or granite countertop with max price of $xx/sq.ft, something similar to it.
