To put it simply, and without sharing too many family details, I am helping my aunt, who is a victim of senior abuse by her kids, fix and flip her home after it was cosmetically destroyed and left vacant for many months.

I realize there are a lot of details that go into the mortgage decision process for the lender that I couldn't include in here, but just looking for some general/creative ideas of ways that things  could be structured with a lender to make something like this work.tia,-Rob

No work needed.Unit #2:Needs some minor repairs - estimates cost is about $1000 to replace a bathroom vanity, hand a curtain, and fix the garbage disposal.

Let me know if you need more details.

There are lots of smaller details too - thermostats for example - that I omitted to try to hit on the biggest cost factors.It is a doable project, the difficult decision is whether it is financially feasible to do it.

Happy to chat in more detail anytime!

Hi Everyone, I am wondering if anyone can give me a rough estimate on how much it would cost per square foot to build a new house (land not included) in Durham North Carolina?

@Scott McMillanThe $2,100 sounds like an estimate. 

He's about as accurate as a broken watch when it comes to details. 

If you have flexibility to commute outside of Rush hour traffic then you can trust the GPS time estimate.
