Hey BP,I just won a Hudson & Marshal bid and came to find out they would not allow any sort of interior inspection for BPO.

Asking price from the bank is 114k and I'd like to pop an offer on it after I see the interior (I drove by and scoped out the exterior, using my previous skills as a licensed appraiser).

I myself have worked on a few flip units, demo and interior painting, for two investor friends that have purchased in various N.

The chamberlain MyQ can be added to existing units with a few simple upgrades one device connects to the garage door opener and a gateway that connects to the home router.Another inexpensive upgrade could be a Z-Wave switch that controls the interior or exterior lights that could increase ones sense of safety when getting home late.Also the Ring Door bell is a great value and safety add plus when combined with the door locks or garage door you could use it to screen deliveries or contractors and let people in on the fly while sitting in traffic on the 405 or a Highway near you.So with these basic smart home upgrades that almost any handyman or contractor could install rather the alternatives for little to no additional expense other then the materials.As far as padding the price or getting a return that is going to very from market to market and your renter/buyer.

We'd obviously get an inspection and a better look at the interior, but the last time family members were inside they said they believed it just needed cosmetics.I'm a little nervous about flipping because it was never in our "game plan."  

She does not damage interiors.

Anyways, we put 20k into renovations with all new kitchen cabinets, new vinyl plank flooring, new interior and exterior paint, all new bath vanities, toilets, new windows, new glass sliding doors, basically everything is new except the carpet. 

I wired house, installed hardwood, interior trim, deck, finished basement.  

It doesn't need any major repairs just touch-up painting on the interior walls.

I work from home selling comcast cable , web design and interior design so my schedule is flexible and will allow me to do all the legwork put in some sweat equity as well as I can paint, tile, hire contractors...Anyone interested in doing a flip with me?
