(new bathroom and kitchen) the only thing we'd possibly do is pull up the carpet and re finish the hardwood floors underneath.I have experience remodeling homes( I worked as a framer and helped my dad remodel homes as a teenager as well).the house is about 60-70 years old but in good condition.I plan on financing with a VA loan but might consider traditional if my father in law has his property sell and go in with him as a partner.My question is does this look like a good a good deal as a live in that we would be renting in about a year?
