If you are in a $1M neighborhood and every other kitchen has granite counters, updated kitchen and stainless appliances, yeah you might have a tough time if you use cheap, plain white appliances and laminate with kitchen cabinets back from the 80’s...

We all share the kitchen (upstairs) and the laundry room (downstairs).

@Mike JordanBeing a full-time real estate investor is a great goal but it is really broad.

To give you an idea of the extent of the projects, we ripped out the kitchen, removed a extra stairwell, moved a bedroom wall that was off the kitchen, cut concrete and added plumbing to make the bedroom a laundry room, converted the old laundry room upstairs into a bathroom for my daughter, stoned a fireplace, new flooring and carpet and ran all new electrical and piping to the new kitchen.

In order to estimate rehab costs (kitchens, baths, windows etc) you really need a contractor to give you a quote.

Still have to budget for roof, appliances, hot water heater, hvac, bath and kitchen remodel,etc.

Flooring and kitchen counters can be done as units become vacant.

Plumbing from previous kitchen behind wall (currently no kitchen or cabinets), 1/2 of basement is utilities, laundry, storage & back exit (could extend hallway & turn storage area into 2nd bedroom while enclosing laundry and utilities).- Garage/Backyard: Yard is standard Chicago size with above ground pool that takes up most space (girlfriend wants to keep, I want to get rid of haha).

@Ashley KnodelI use Frigidaire or Amana for my Kitchen Appliances.  

Shared bathroom, shared kitchen, different styles, different noise levels.
