Most appraisers in our area have little idea how to evaluate energy efficiency upgrades, so our work buys us little in the way of comps (though they love the refinished hardwood floors and the newly tiled bathrooms).

Renovation The plan was to gut and rebuild the kitchen and bathrooms, replace/refinish all of the flooring, replace all of the lighting, repaint, complete extensive landscaping and other odds and ends.

and: "did you just stop to use the bathroom or what?"

where does one find a basic oak bathroom vanity door to replace one that the wood split 1" right before the hinge (it is only 5 yrs old and is standard cheapy-ish) vanity. 

The problem is I was planning on tiling the bathrooms using Ditra and guess what - a primer prevents your thin-set from bonding to your subfloor.  

The paint is peeling, the walls r cracked, the tiles r falling off in te bathroom shower probably from the leak he said he hasnt fixed which my inspector says is the cause of a huge amount of water under the unit!

Another time, we gave a rent credit for 3 days when we had to put a bathroom out of commission for some major repairs; the tenant preferred to stay over at her daughters house during the time.

The closer they are in square footage, age, numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms, lot square footage, the more accurate they will be for comping purposes.

The house has three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, electric everything, and a two car garage. 

In the past I have also purchased bathroom fixtures from a liquidation site online.
