I have been updating this house recently with paint and fixtures with the idea that we would just try to sell it. 

Lumber, labor, cement, brick, and even the fixtures are all more expensive from a year ago.

All the electrical work (including some added GFIs, adding outlets, relocating and adding some switches, and adding a few light fixtures) came out to under 2K.

For example, a quick "back of the napkin" conceptual estimate (WAG) suggests the following:Appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, hood):  $3,500Kitchen sink, disposal and faucet:  $500 (material only)Kitchen hardware:  $200 (material only)Kitchen cabinet restoration:  $3,000Kitchen countertop restoration:  $1,500Plank flooring:  $3.50/SF x 2,000 SF = $7,000 (material only)Electrical rehabilitation (including light fixtures):  $4,000Plumbing rehabilitation (including toilets, faucets & shower):  $3,000Bathroom tile (2 baths):  $5,000  New roof:  $10,000New siding:  $6,000Paint (outside):  $4,000Paint (inside):  $5,000Staging: $1,650TOTAL:  $54,350This estimate does not consider any cost associated with building permits or design professionals. 

I did LEDs in my rental (both bulbs and ceiling disk fixtures where there used to be can lights), but I got the 2700 or 2750 K ones - pretty close to a plain old soft-white incandescent. 

I am interested in a pint or a cup of coffee next month anyone else is. 

The house was built in the late-80's and has all original finishes and fixtures.

I have a townhouse in an area where it's not a common fixture.

At least 5 interior doors have holes, drywall is marred and dented in places, some trim removed and broken, closet doors broken along with broken light fixtures etc. 

Good luck on your journey and let's meet for a cup of coffee if you visit SoCal!
