You may not have enough to do your repairs based on an Actual Cash Value basis if the kitchen that burnt was 20 years old and the insurer subtracts 30 or 40% for depreciation, for example. 

Going the extra on baths and kitchens will pay higher dividends....look to "cut costs" in other, less scrutinized areas.

Total rehab, $102,670.07: including new roofs, tenting, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, etc.

I got a call tonight from my property manager stating 3 things:a) There was no heat coming from the radiator in one of the upstairs bedroomsb) the water in the kitchen was dripping slowlyc) A couple of the electrical outlets were not workingI would have expected that the PM would have had someone bleed the radiators to solve a) since that was obvious, and have one of their staff check out b) and c).

She’s put a lot of work and money into the place (new septic, flooring, kitchen and bath updates, new plumbing, HVAC, and exterior paint.)

I know a guy who closes houses at his kitchen table (so he says) - that makes me a bit uneasy to put it lightly.Only do a deal if you are comfortable with it - play around with the numbers until you have worked a deal that you can sleep comfortably with.

Another point I made to him is that this place sold for $1.26 in early 2005 and $1.1 in 2003 and that was before the new kitchen and baths were put in.

New roof, ac, kitchen, bathrooms, all the floors and even the doors and door knobs.

The home is listed for 159,000 and is fully renovated, new roof, new SS appliances and granite in kitchen, new ac/heat....

I've been the beneficiary of several nice upgrades done by tenants: wood flooring, new kitchen, granite counters, new bathroom vanity, chain link fencing, etc.I've also been the.. victim.. of other tenant.. down grades?
