Also put a new 16x20 deck on the back.

I might even have a 6x18 steel deck put on in the back. (7500 materials and labor plus 3k permits and inspections) Below is a picture of  4K bathroom.

Have rented with a single project pending like a deck but not multiple projects still outstanding.

It's good to have a title company for closing and a real estate attorney on deck (pick one BEFORE you run into a legal issue).

Lots of DIY landscaping; High grass, pressure wash deck and fence, replacing some broke boards on fence.Depending if I find anything alarming today, I am thinking ~10k, Most I want to spend is 15k for a rehab.He is asking 149K (doing more research, but I think I can get it lower for what it is.

The inspector we have on deck is relatively new and therefore not as deeply experience as others. 

.- West Suburbs of Atlanta- 4/2 (listed as 3/2 on MLS) split-level built in 2003- Listed 2/10/2011 @ $50K- Offered $43K - Next day, bank asked for Highest and Best- Submitted $45K, all-cash, $5K EMD, close in 2 weeks- Bank "accepts" offer and sends an addendum with a price of $46K filled in, instead of $45K- Considering this is a slam dunk deal (requires about $12K of rehab and should resell for at least $100K), I quickly signed it and returned it- Expect to make between $25-30K profit in about 2 months, and since I'm borrowing 100% of the purchase + rehab from a private investor, the ROI should be infinite (minus the small time investment) Btw, my guess is that the reason this didn't go to an owner occupant is because the beck deck is in bad shape, and probably wouldn't have passed FHA inspection.

Fresh paint, closet doors, and a small deck would make it livable but there are a few other minor things that could be done to make it even more desirable.I live in Bellingham, WA and the market here is a little strange.

Oh ok, that's like a 6" wide, 10' long piece of metal that is nailed to the edge of the sheathing, and then the shingles are placed on top of that, and it prevents water from leaking through the last row of shingles onto the decking?

The biggest problem was that the deck was built on top of the gas meter.
