While you're at it, ask the tenant if he wants to install some new kitchen cabinets!

I've been to many fire damaged properties, and aside from the physical damage caused by fire, you have the smell of smoke to deal with, and that may include the contents, cabinets, walls, floor, window frames, etc. 

Hi fellow Hartford investors, I'm looking for a Handyman to install cabinets and countertops and other odd jobs.

It was last renovated in the 70s (at least if the laminated cabinets are any indication).

Tile, granite, vinyl plank flooring, etc.No particleboard cabinets.  

My dad and I did all of the framing, windows, hardwood flooring, tile, cabinets, and trim work.

Repaint or Replace Kitchen Cabinets?

You draw from the escrow account as you complete phases of work. (5K after exterior is complete, 5K after Rough Electrical and Plumbing, 5K after flooring, cabinets, etc. 10K at completion) This protects you and the lender from a contractor taking off with your cash and not even hammering a nail at the job site.

If new cabinets, paint and carpet are your thing then deals will certainly be a struggle to acquire.

Here we have heat pumps so I will check it out and such next week.I will do all the bathroom plumbing new fixtures and cabinet/door handles myself.Thinking about laminate flooring, I will pull old carpet up myself, tile in kitchen and bathrooms still good.
