If new cabinets, paint and carpet are your thing then deals will certainly be a struggle to acquire.

Find a floor man and ask him how much he charges for tile, wood, carpet. 

I will do a lot of stuff myself, painting, cleaning, tearing out old carpet, etc.

The 4plex has 3 units currently rented going for $975 (new carpet & paint would go a long way) and they are asking 390,000 which is the cheapest I have found in my area that is livable and in a good area.

We expected some carpet damage and that a repaint would be needed but in reality the wood floors are destroyed, windows need replacing, all carpets need to be replaced, cabinets require replacing or refinishing, and the grounds need landscaping.Originally our plan was to fix this home and sell it.

The problems are “deep” problems in crawl space, in the rooms it looks rent ready- that is how I and the realtor felt when we walked in: Clean carpet, rooms, kitchen, bedrooms, functional AC, and other appliances included in the purchase.

Being a condo less can go wrong but when a tenant moves out you will need to paint / replace carpets etc which a typical turnover is $1000-$1500.

The after-closing VA repairs were paint/carpet/woodtrim type stuff.

You can estimate a specific job, like replacing carpet, or a project, like a bathroom or kitchen rehab.Here is the site.https://www.homewyse.com/services/index.htmlIf it's in the ballpark, then it seems like it could be a useful tool as you're getting started and looking to run numbers to make offers before you have a lot of deals and experience under your belt.

Thank you, I did estimate the 15k for the kitchen, bathrooms and to replace the carpet.
