The 2 bedroom units needs some work but I'm talk a fresh coat of paint.( And maybe windows down the road).

I'm a new owner and trying to come up with budget on what I should fix now or put on the back burners.The building is newly painted but the front and backyard is nothing but dirt.I need a new roof, 2 2 car gargage doors( right now the garage are used as storage and not parking) and the laundry area has only a washer.(4 unit building) I need a new roof which cost 20k or to repair the roof will cost me 4k.

I guess we are lucky as she did give us 30 days, moved out, left small repairs with lots of painting and cleaning still to do.Thanks James for the info overview, and Aron for the web link to Maryland law.Thanks so much,Yvette

Assuming your rehabbing the kitchen and bath, adding a bath, finishing the basement, painting, refinishing floors, etc My rehab cost would be closer to $60k-$65k.

She was renting it to family (Lesson learned) for the past 4 years, once they were gone we decided to go ahead and update it prior to selling, new bathrooms, carpet, paint, refinish cabinets, the works.

All 4 pretty much have the same issues, flooring crappy, appliances not working or barely, siding rotted out, interior doors missing or badly damaged, all need painting and sheetrock repair, I could go on.

For paint/materials and labor to repaint a 3br w/ 2 coats, about $1,200.

A good cleaner makes the need for painting much less.

I just steam cleaned the carpet, touched up the paint and home looks like the way when i bought it new.

I have found more mold underneath the counters and cabinets in the kitchen and she is denying it and I found proof that they painted over mold on the walls so they did know about it.
