I'd like to pop the top and expand the footprint of the studio and possibly add a 2nd bathroom in order to convert it into a 2bed/2bath with long term goal of selling it as a townhouse (all 3 units are already individually deeded, individually metered with gas and electric, have their own furnaces and water heaters, etc.).

They are nailed to the front edge of the cabinet with finish nails. 2) For particleboard cabinets, a piece of relatively thick particleboard (1/2"+) goes on first, and then a veneer of real wood (1/8" or less) gets glued on top of that, for a better appearance.With either kind of cabinet, depending on what the flooring is, there is sometimes a quarter-round molding in the corner between the toe kick and the floor, installed with finish nails.If you have time to stop by a Habitat ReStore, they sometimes have complete sets of older cabinets that were pulled out of remodels. 

(fyi- there are low life people who would attempt this too) BUT, in this seller's market with homes getting contacts within a few days or the day you put up for sale, unless you are an out of state seller, you can do this FSBO option.Selling a home FSBO at top price can put be a massive savings of Tax Free Equity that can put a kid thru college, make you debt free, put towards retirement, etc.

Fantastic!

I'm about 7 days away from closing on my first real estate deal and the thought occurred to me that instead of wasting time (and closing costs) dealing with a bank for the initial loan, I could simply use myself as the source of "private money" for the entire purchase (~40k) for a home that I intend to rehab.The rehab is expected to take 3-4 weeks and I already have a reputable contractor with a written estimate in hand and the cost will be a ~25k additional (worst case) on top of that.  

on this one we did  on 7 new street with all the requirements there its almost triple to build.. but that one will have all sub zero wolf etc.. this one is just medium grade on appliance packages.WE sold one of our new builds in North Charleston to the family that owns the company that makes the custom counter tops though.. so those are cool and we got good pricing.. 

Most sellers will just want top dollar, it only takes one outlier to make a deal.

What ever marketing you use, guess what, people WILL go online to check you out and they will find the top 3 sites on google in your market.

Fantastic!
