After walking through it, to get it up to our standards we would need to put 30-50k into it right away or asap for renovations on outdated kitchens and bathrooms.

I have a Duplex that is a century home I would like to update the kitchen with new cabinets and flooring.

-Must be full time RE investor...

For example today, every Wed there is a 10am-12 Deal makers meetup at the Tilly Mill office (the Home Depot parking lot office strip) where a bunch of full timers meet have a speaker and solve each others problems.  

Renovation takes time, hurts occupancy, and if certain things (like kitchen cabinets) are in the middle of their life there's no need to look a gift horse in the mouth. 

This week I have 2 sellers I'm meeting with. the first has a 3bd/1ba house from 1885 that needs EVERYTHING. he put in new walls. it needs floors raised, a kitchen, 2 ba, lights, etc. repairs were estimated at 49k by my contractor.

Only moving 2 walls, moving kitchen from one end of a room to the other, and rebuilding a deck, but other than those two items it is all just finishings.

Hi BP,I recently bought a house in West Jordan, Utah and I'm looking into putting a kitchen in the basement so that I can rent out two rooms.

CapEx is comprised of large, irregular expenses that need to be taken care of every couple of years (new roof, new kitchen, plumbing/electrical overhaul).Here's an unwise approach:"My roof is 15 years old and has approximately 5 years left.

Most of my buyers are first-timers that looked for a bit and then stopped because their previous Realtor wasn't patient enough or didn't explain the process enough.
