We upgraded the single oven to a double.

Well, to answer the titular question, "Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search" was best I could find, and got that from Wikipedia.

Replaced all windows, doors, flooring, painted, enclosed a porch, redid kitchen and bathroom as well as a lot of electrical upgrades (running new wire, adding circuits) only hired help was roof repair, plumbing, and some of the electrical.

All siding should just be removed and smooth out to match neighborhood upgrades.

I just finished a house and if I had to pay both of these fees above would have cost me $30,500.As someone who doesn't hire these people, I have always figured a GC would fall into the 15-20% of the rehab costs ($5,000-15,000 on the flops I have completed) and a designer simply picking out colors and tile I would honestly be willing to pay up to $1,000-1,500 TOPs, however would also expect them to helps with all aspects of design, inside and out. your GC costs to his family at first seemed high, but I guess wouldn't be over the top when really broken down (assuming he is running the job full time, and the time was agreed to, not allowing him to drag it on and continue to make more and more money while you lose money).

I own an apartment in Washington, DC, and have personally managed it for years, and I recently had some extended drama in paying back part of a security deposit to a tenant that had broken their lease.They claimed that the check never arrived in the mail, so after giving plenty of time ensure that this was true, and putting a stop payment order on the check, I sent them the payment via PayPal to ensure that we had no more mail issues.

I'm fully expecting people to want to come in and flip the house anyways, therefore, I wonder if it's worth upgrading it further?

Also, FSBO properties can be a good source of leads that may require minimal upgrades to increase value, and since these owners do not work with professional representation, it has been statistically shown you will be able to get sizable concessions on price, in addition to leveraging the outdated condition of the property, it may result in a significantly discounted purchase price in the right situation.

A screen door that needs replacing left just sitting on the balcony, a broken light fixture, framed renter instructions that had gotten broken and repaired with duct tape.... just very dumb stuff that I do not want to tolerate when it comes to how guests see my unit.

@Marco Moreno I feel like a bit of a broken record so apologies if you've heard this before but @Heather Hopkins has ahelped a few BP members find properties already.
