The homeowners make out well, because the show basically pays for their remodel.

I used the account to fund the purchase of houses at foreclosure by a third party which then remodels the home and flips it.

They will say things like fully remodeled and you find out they patched a few mechanicals and put lipstick in of carpet and paint and are claiming turn key properties in excellent shape.

The average homeowner doesn't want to change a toilet or faucet or ceiling fan much lessa larger more involved job.

But I do have a pretty big yard.I would check all the usual suspects for water leaks first- running toilets, leaky faucets, water heaters, etc.If that all seems fine you might talk to the new tenant about conserving.

I have found nice ones used, on CG, used appliance shops and hit up bath/kitchen remodel contracts, there is nothing wrong with used in some lightly up dated kitchens of 10 year old home as it's probably newer than what would have been there, just saying, used can work.

Basement, .25 acre, oncul-de-sac, off-St parking for 3-4 cars, no garage Purchase Price: $148,500.00 w/ 25% down 30 year Mortgage: $111,375.00 at 4.875% Taxes: $5,400.00 Insurance: $800.00 Repairs: New Appliances, Paint, Refinish Hardwood Floors, Update bathroom toilets/vanities, Replace Gas Boil.

More importantly you found some damage and properly repaired that and that alone was worth the remodel in my mind.
