get a set of plans and bid them out.. add up all the bids and that is your cost.excavation.. foundation rough plumb rough heat framing windows roof siding insulation and sheet rock.. probably cabinets as well.then you can take it from there do your own finish work  paint  .. hire out flooring and granite counters etc. and you can do the finish plumb and electrical but I would have the same people that did the rough do that all for one price.

@Michael Noto I kinda wanted to stay away from large banks as I like the idea of being able to text/call my lender at any time without hearing from someone new... a little more customer service / personable.

No big deal...But the open mindedness and customer services goes a long way....Lol

This one needs minimal updates (paint, refinish existing hardwood floors, update kitchen cabinets (small kitchen, which is customary to area)).

I have a customer/ friend who is a real estate broker and is aware I've been looking for real estate investment opportunities.  

My question for the BP community is given by budget constraint of $1,050 should I stain the cabinets, replace and stain new cabinet doors, try to install new cabinets on my very limited budget or wait until I have a bit more $ and have the contract replace new cabinets and counter tops all at one time. 

Pretty standard apartment inside and out.Rent in the area according to rentometer for single beds is $640 so it's on the low side and with the old original appliances and cabinets and stuff, has upside potential.I was thinking of offering 380k to start and subject to financing, with inspection contingency, request a schedule e (he showed us numbers from his accounting software already but to be safe of course,) and estoppel certifs.Income 52kExp 14kNOI 58k~Rents- 525-575My broker said he'd go 390k max but he said he thinks it would be a good buy to hold for cashflow and rehab units for higher rent.
