Open concept plus cosmetics.

Cosmetically it looks great to me, just curious what those with more knowledge think. 2) What do you think the total costs were to do all this rehab work?

As I'm a passionate renovator and  RE broker, I like the idea of sourcing (and possibly renovating even if cosmetically) a deal, so I am mainly looking in and around Kings, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk counties, but occasionally out of state as well. 

I'm also thinking about buying a slight "fixer-upper" for less than my budget and putting some renovations into it, but my realtor stated that the only things I can do with a FHA loan are minor cosmetic renovations like carpet, tile, cabinets. 

@Linda W.I work with clients who routinely buy bundles.

Or does it assume you just need to update the cosmetics?

I dumped 10K into it to replace the roof and other exterior cosmetics.

Many repairs and some cosmetic refreshing What was the outcome?

.- They generally won't lend on properties in need of more than cosmetic repairs.Credit Unions- They are similar to banks.- Their interest rates will be similar to banks.- You have to be a member- They will be more likely to do non-conforming loans, which means they'll have their own standards for lending and may be a little more lenient.Most likely you'll need to do hard money on a low end property. 

I'm interested in buying a property that needs cosmetics updates and that I can add value to.
