They demo'd the bath and kitchen, framed in one of the kitchen doorways (that was useless), extended the wall for usable cabinet space and started demo on the basement.Kitchen beforeCurrent Status: cabinets will now be able to wrap and follow the new wallBasement Before: Current Status (Forgot to get the pad lock off the garage door for them to get this stuff to the dumpster, whoops)We'll see how things go this weekend.

I have the opportunity to purchase some great property that will need new flooring, a new tub, new cabinets, paint, etc.My question you experts is how much of this do you generally do on your own and how much do you sub out?  

The properties I've been looking at need some work, new appliances, windows, painting, new cabinets, etc. nothing major, like electrical and plumbing.I'm looking to partner with an investor who will put up the money.

Either the light cabinets with a dark island for contrast, or the dark cabinets and the white island for contrast?

.- Kitchen upgrade and vinyl flooring replacement (replacing countertops and backsplash with plumbing and sink/faucet with new appliances, we will repaint the cabinets ourselves)- Bathroom remodeling to include demolition, installation, plumbing repair or modification, and tile flooring (~42sqft per bathroom)- Convert two bedrooms into one with a walk-in-closet- For the flooring: Remove all carpet and refinish hardwood floor- For the painting: patch and repair walls and ceilings and re-paint.- Verify the existing installation for heating and water heater (new heating system on 3rd floor)- Remove asbestos insulation and pipes in the basement- Verify the existing electrical installation and upgrade to support new appliances- Some windows to be changed and we may consider to change them all depending on pricing- Repair the roof if neededWe are also considering doing most of the work on the unit we would live in (other than plumbing and electricity) but we really need to find a GC that can work within our budget!

After all, they’re getting new cabinets and granite.

yeah hvac calls are the best... as far as your dishwasher goes, replace it with another cabinet and a $1.50 plastic dish rack. 

Be very cautious of letting her paint. you will end up with paint on the trim, carpet, cabinets and else ware.  

I still have at least 10 bottles of free shampoo in my cabinets, and I haven't done it in years.Sam & Heather Jones  I love Mr Money Mustache!
