He came back with nothing, as he did not see any sign of leak ( no peeling of wall paint).Solution: Tomorrow, I am planning to inspect myself and try to find root cause of the problem.

This ALONE is about 50KYou have not even touched electrical, plumbing, painting, roof, hardware, furnace, water heater, landscaping, I seriously doubt the repairs will be 75K

So we are keeping the brick, and not bother doing framing, sheetrock mudding , taping, paint...Same with the ceiling.We are going for this look:No, there is nothing wrong 40K houses.

I went to look at the property, decided that all it needed was touch up paint and some mulch in order to sell quickly on the mls.

There is no “Repair Siding” or “Paint Exterior with this color”.

You can patch it together and "drive" it a bit longer, but you are already living on borrowed time.A complete rehab for a typical Milwaukee home will run around $35-50 per sqft, depending on things like do you replace the siding or just paint it.

. $8,964,-Phase 3: Interior paint/ Install kitchen cabinets and granite countertops. [5 days] Install bathroom vanities, toilets, sinks, tubs.Install hardwood flooring, Install baseboard heating, electrical, and plumbing.

With condos instead of budgeting for major expenses like roof, ext paint, landscaping etc the association takes care of those and you pay the maint fee instead.  

You have not accounted for paint, exterior work(you mentioned siding, that will blow your budget with siding).
