Keep the cabinets open under each sink and let each sink drip.  

The living room, dinning, hall and 1 restroom is what needs flooring, sink/cabinets, insulation (possibly) and plumbing.

It needs some work but is mostly updating, not repairing- new floors, updating kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances, and enlarging the deck.

Purchase price: $130,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Sale price: $268,000 Townhome, not lived in for 6 months, had to take out cabinets in kitchen/bathrooms, replaced all sinks, toilets, huge mess How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

The kitchen is in the process of cabinet being installed then paint and done then a fresh coat of paint on the outside and I'm done .

Cheap things I have done: paint, repaint cabinets, door hardware(crazy what grandma bronze to a brushed nickel can do), cabinet hardware if you have it, and updated outlets(cheap an very easy to rewire).  

It's different if he's letting a pipe leak and destroy your floors or cabinets, and of course you don't want to run your compressor without freon (most units have auto shut-offs that won't let the compressor run with low freon), but things that aren't emergencies for the unit, if he doesn't tell you for weeks, then you get to them when your people are able to schedule, and that's that. 

New roof, new A/C and Heater, new stove, cleaned up, new insulation in the attic, fixed damage to the inside, new paint, painted cabinets, resurfaced the kitchen countertops.

Also, I installed additional cabinet storage in the kitchen since I was renting by the room.

There were items left by the previous tenants, food splattered in the kitchen, the dishwasher doesn’t sit in the area and falls over when the door is pulled, there’s even a panel missing on a kitchen cabinet.. they left freakin trulys in the freezer!
