Found this report of a rehab gone bad. It is a shame that there are contractors that are that bad. I am trying to give the "real estate investor" the benefit of the doubt that he didnt know better, but it is still his...

The back story , I get a call on Sat , while I am on a Ski trip with my 2 boys , from a tenant , the toilet is clogged and they looked at the rear cleanout and it was full .

Either way, it wouldn't happen within a year, so I assume I'm not breaking any of the clear HUD rules on this one.My question is - if I end up taking my good old time and repair / remodel this place over the course of a year or more and I'm over there regularly to cut the grass, get the mail, work on it, etc.  

I'm finishing a BRRRR deal and am trying to wrap up a long, tricky remodel of an older cape cod.

- What if this is a small remodel and you are trying to keep costs down, while still getting that half bath in?

Thanks for the great advice Lexi, I agree,  my rentals have looked bare despite being full remodels so this would be a great idea for some finishing touches.

You can change bedrooms, bathrooms, livable square footage, date of most recent remodel, etc.  

I am concerned about the amount of wear-and-tear that this many people will cause this newly remodeled unit.I would love your thoughts / advice.

Besides some minor repairs (it has a busted window and vanities need to be installed in one of the full bathrooms and the half bath...the half bath also needs a toilet). it is pretty livable. 

I offered this guy concrete work on a remodel and he didn't show.
