You shouldn't need permits to upgrade kitchens and bathrooms unless you are changing the plumbing.

Long-time reader, first-time poster. Me and wife have been looking to get into REI. Our plan is to start with flipping to save enough for down payment(s) to purchase multifamily units and grow from there.I am wonderin...

The asking price is $230K and the property would require very little rehab as all of the units have been upgraded within the past 2 years (new kitchens, bathrooms, paint and A/C units).

She started renovations by putting up drywalls in some of the rooms, but not paining them, the ceiling in the bathroom and the kitchen has paint peeling off. 

Looking for a qualified contractor to do a kitchen renovation.

I am a first time investor and seeking advice on the best lenders. I found this property https://miami.craigslist.org/brw/reo/5995297897.ht...It's a 4/2 with two mobile homes fully rented for $2200 a month. It's in an...

As such, I try to create value by renovating the kitchens and baths as well as re working the interior to maximize bedroom count.  

The landlord under me has her occupied for $875 but hers is updated with nice laminate floors, tile in the kitchen and bath, updated counter tops by miracle method, updated appliances, nice paint on walls and trim, etc.

In addition, lots of drywall, flooring, kitchens & baths to do, likely new roof, repair wood rott, brick pointing, windows/doors.  

It is an older property and in my opinion not a great area...I dont know if parents of students would feel great about having their kids live there...I certainly did not like it much for my daughter...and I know that the landlord had a hard time renting out the 4th bedroom for the price she wanted, it was empty for several months( that is why she finally allowed 2 girls to split the room ) As always in Real Estate, location , location , location...We felt it was time for her to find a new place....she is now renting at the Vue at Cornerstone, completely furnished with her own bathroom for 510.00 per month plus utilities(40.00) at the other place she was paying $100 for utilities so she is now in a much better place for about the same amount.
