How much was he looking for?

Try washing a door with Murphy's oil soap and see if it look more "new", or "new enough" to re-use, and maybe think about just working with the cherry or whatever color the manufacturer put on.Also if the cabinets are not luxury to start with, the finish probably won't make them so, as because as others have said, they lack the special slow close drawers, dovetails, special cabinets, wine rack, moldings, etc... 

Like it seems Thomas from CA ( equity is stuck money) has gone even though him and I did not total agree on debt issues I respected his opinion and boy was he NO BS when it came to how to handle tenants ..

These are easy to wash and the tenant can swap them out if they prefer a different color.

Was he an already convicted felon in possession of a firearm? 

this is one of the hardest things to get over to new flippers.. that bigger dollar deals need HUGE spreads starting out to make it worth the riskits very easy in some markets to miss your resale number by 10 to 30k and in this instance this would have been a break even.they all work out in the wash of course.

Originally posted by @Angela Przulj:AnnaBeing conservative myself, I would pay off my MR (home you live in) and use the equity from investments to purchase more properties.Investment expenses are tax deductible, so make sense to me.Investment expenses, including interest paid on rental property mortgages, are tax deductible, but so are interest payments on a mortgage on your primary residence if you qualify, so taxes are a wash in that regard.BTW, speaking of taxes, please allow me to tax geek out and stray a wee bit off topic for a bit, as I think it may be useful and somewhat relevant to the discussion ... 

If I am understanding correctly this is a wash for mom as she can just sell it for the same amount as you are offering.
