I paid off 20k in student loans last year, so my goal is to save another 20k this year for a down payment/closing/light renovation/ect.

Everyone in the bp community lets light our selves on fire, and make it happen this summer.

Warning..... 

Any suggestions or warnings for this?

I will never forget my father kicking a contractor off the property for failing to close the gate after multiple warnings. 

@Mindy Jensen I was asking the inspector for a full inspection on a 2500sq foot house that had no sinks, light fixtures, hot water heaters, multiple holes in the walls ect.

Regarding your warnings about buying too high, I get it.  

I wonder if a light grey would work well.

I was looking into working on a wholesale deal earlier in the year and was warned by a fellow local investor that if you don't perform the wholesale deal properly, you can be breaking the law in Ohio.

When preparing to meet with contractors, it is helpful to at least have a sketch of what you want, price out some of the features that you want (i.e. retro light fixures, tile, the fancy sink, etc.), or at the very least show your contractor magazine photos of the type of interior design you like!
