@Yang Xiao I am not preapproved because I am currently closing on the last rental I can finance by myself and do not want to rock the boat.

(I feel like a mistress)At demo and initial 2 wks.

After cost of demo, I was going to lose money plus I still had the legal costs to do the suit to quiet title.

I would have asked Tarek how he likes doing demo and rehab work while wearing flip flops

Sweat equity: I demoed a bathroom, painted all rooms in the house.Money in: Replaced the Washer/Dryer, replaced carpet prior to saleBuy the dip: I was lucky with my timing.

Since owner still owns house, demo can start next day.

Oops Correction: I now see where you did include demo costs.

When there are power tools running and demo crews loading crap into dumpsters, that makes most people feel on edge.

I did have one estimate from a remodeler and he wanted 21K to do the job and I estimated the job to come in at 12 to 15K this would include new flooring, appliances, cabinets, electric and plumbing. plus my son and I did the demo and we took up the old pine floor. so I feel this was any easy project to do since all the hard work was done.

Then we demoed the entire second floor, and even tho you see framing behind my tractor we took all of that main floor out also with the exception of the front outside wall.
