I have one building with decorative fireplaces and we capped those so they can't use them.

Purchase price: $690,000 Cash invested: $172,500 Took a gamble on a larger single family home in an up and coming master planned community.

Hi Kwanza,Bay Tek (650-204-1512) would be a great starting point, but I’d also recommend reaching out to Adler Builders (650-398-9030) and Mission Home Remodeling (415-855-7269) for comparable bids.In San Francisco, you’ll need a licensed General Contractor (GC) to pull the necessary permits.

If anyone has advice—whether it’s general tips or insights about these markets—I’d really appreciate it! 

Any guidance or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Quote from @Lisa Albright: Hi All,Newbie here, just a quick question we are building an addition on our second home, we have a primary residence, and two rental properties.

You are essentially doing a partial sale of your home.

Penalties of these Federal charges may include:30 years in prisonUp to $1 million in finesIt's a Federal crime.I'm not currently at foreclosure, but am recently out of state starting grad school, no income, and home needs repairs that I simply do not have the money to make.

Knowing what to budget for when buying a home may feel intimidating — but it doesn’t have to be.

Does anyone have any tips/ advice to help make sure my property will appraise for what I planned on based on my rehab?
