My Dad and I did a full remodel that should have cost an extra $15,000 and 2 extra months.

Will a potential buyer completely disregard the beautifully remodeled unit because of the hallways and elevator they just had to walk through to get to their unit?

I've been in remodeling for over 20 years (contractor for 10 of those), but it's just been the same thing year after year. 

Some properties need some remodeling and some needs major remodeling. 

I will rent out my current home and have my tenants pay off the mortgage.Here are a couple pics of the kitchen remodel that I am 95% done. 

I"ve been flipping houses for 8 yrs on my own so I'm very verse in cost of a remodel and flip.

We are planning to live in this house at least a couple of years while we continue to remodel it and so want to be sure it will be comfortable.  

My ARV closed comps actually range around 889k for a house nearby on a busy road that is a fixer in better condition than this house but extremely dated and ugly with one less bedroom that really needs a full remodel, to a comp that has a better backyard, totally livable but sort of your 1990's special (lots of laminate counters, looks kinda like a motel 6) that sold for 1.1million.

I have a current mortgage of $773 a month, a car loan of $200 a month, a timeshare of $196 a month, $60 private loan payment and about $75-$100 in credit cards a month.The reason that I want to refinance is 1) to pay off some of my debt (the little credit card debt that I have around $1500, which includes two collections accounts) 2) to finish remodeling our house (this should up our market value to $140K-150K) 3) to use the remainder of the money to help purchase an investment property in the future.

You'll be amazed at how much you learn with just a conversation.2) spend as little money as necessary on the remodel.
