just wondering if anyone has put heat mats etc under bath and kitchen ceramic tile.

As an example she wanted a new kitchen after she botched a paint job a few years before I bought the place.

Then go to as many REO properties as you can and practice your skill set.Here is some more info that should help you: Break up the home into sections - Kitchen, baths, flooring, paint, stucco, landscaping, plumbing (including fixtures), electrical (including fixtures), HVAC, interior doors, door casings/baseboards, windows/sliders/front door, roof, foundation, misc., and garage.Once you know what the common costs are for each area for a specific size home, you can see how easy it will become to walk in and walk out 15 minutes later with a rehab figure in your head.

Brandon biggest bangs for your buck are things like painting, a nice neat kitchen, curing odors, a nice neat bathroom, fresh hardwood floors.

I may be a bit conservative on the repair costs, however this particular property needs some mold remediation (basement), kitchen and bath updates and standard paint/carpet.
