Since then, he has had to replace the windows (the seals got old) and now he has to install all new plumbing.

I tried to estimate what a GC might cost in my calculations, but I have an uncle who does roofing and cousins with window installation and landscaping businesses, so I believe I can save some significant costs through their help and guidance. 

We opened insurance claims and received insurance checks in 2023, had the roof, fence, AC, windows replaced with partial payments done in Dec 2023 and the bulk of contractors paid in 2024. 

then you slide each expense to it budget category.  

Rather than painting the entire exterior, including the house, garage, windows, and doors, in one color, try a two-toned approach.Don’t forget the small details!

So i found a house that has tall ish grass and a broken/open window with no mailbox at the location and i was to buy this property for my first house to live in for a while then eventually sell.

The estimate rehab budget was $133K and I gave him roughly $30K to start for various deposits (Roofer, Windows, Framing, Etc).

This helps me with pricing, and I try to keep those prices current so I know what to expect when putting on a new roof, or replacing windows.
