The duplex has a new roof but it needs work: new interior and exterior paint, landscaping, new fence, remodeled kitchen and bathroom, new appliances and windows.

Its not very enticing to buy something that you didnt get input on design and layout to have to sit through 12-24 months of city review.  

@Justin PeuckerMainly just looking at number of bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, garage size, and condition of interior such as kitchen and bathroom finishes.

Simple bath and kitchen makeover, new laminate floors in common areas, painted all rooms, painted exterior.

And are the spread sheets you are using of your own design?

Purchase price: $165,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Sale price: $273,000 Purchased off-market property and completed a renovation to include the following: minor structural repairs, minor changes to floor plan, complete interior painting and floor refinishing, gut and redo kitchen, various landscaping improvements, deck repairs, all new hardware and light fixtures.

I'm very handy and have experience with doing minor rehab work (new kitchens/bathrooms, flooring, paint, landscaping, etc), so I'm not afraid of a deal that needs some improvements.

I am looking for a contractor/company who specializes in remodeling bathrooms and kitchens to help mom stay at home safely and avoid having to go to a nursing home.
