If you were going to ballpark and complete gut and builder quality finishings( luxury laminate, non tile bath etc), what would it be for a 1600 sq ft 2 story colonial? 

Hello,I have an applicant for my rental property that has a great credit score, but for the last 4 months I see a pattern of 5-10 enquiries per month  in their credit score.

I've been in a "holding pattern" trying to figure out my property insurance issues .In retrospect ...

There is a reason I don’t invest in CA at all…Regarding AB 968, as you implied with the beginning of your comment, this should provide protection to end buyers, or at least provide them easy resources and contacts to reduce potential ownership headaches (example: “hey I accidentally broke a bathroom tile, can you just tell me where it was ordered from so I can go get another one?”).

Assessing financial objectives, property costs, rental earnings, tenant interactions, and market patterns is key to making well-informed choices.Good luck!

I just sold a spec, I built a house for my self last year and finished a spec this year, I bough the lots at tax sale, and I was the GC, HVAC, Tile, Flooring, Cabinet, Painter, and Misc. guy, made a nice profit, but the crappy part is taxes, its like a flip, short term gains. good luck!

You can see this all the time on trucks: 'ABC Plumbing - Specializing in remodels, baths, kitchens, tile, etc'What this means is that they are really not good at anything and desperate to take on any job just to make a few bucks.

We’ve noticed water seeping issues through the shower tiles, causing damage to the sheetrock in our only bathroom on main floor.

The scope of repairs include: complete renovation of master bathroom, kitchen, and guest bathroom.I spent about $1,700 on materials for the master bathroom (vanity, lighting, tile, grout, 2 medicine cabinets, cement, drywall, etc.).

However its the same fact pattern as the larger developers who relied on pref equity or mezz debt and are now at a point where the clock continues to tick on those funds because they can't recapture on a refinance.
