My capex budget includes roof 25 year life span, floors 10 year life span,appliance and hot water heater 12 year life span, hvac 20 year life span, bath and kitchen remodel 20 year life span. 

The only other access to the main floor of the home is a 17 step staircase.

The infestation seems to be coming from an adjacent property or one in the building (8 condos - 4 on main floor, 4 2nd floor units).

Updated kitchen and flooring.

Purchase price: $155,000 Cash invested: $220,000 Purchased this distressed home right outside of University of Delaware and renovated the entire property: new roof, new windows, new siding, filled in an in ground pool, demoed flooded basement and added 4th bedroom, converted half bath to full, refinished kitchen, refinished hardwood flooring, installed LVF throughout home, new plumbing, new electrical, etc.

And for every concrete block pier under the house, same thing with drilling the blocks and injecting chemical.

It touts 5 rooms across two floors.

@Mike McCarthy it's kind of a unique house, it was a luncheonette with an apartment on the first floor and the 2nd floor has an apartment.

Hey BP members, I am starting a remodel on one of the bathrooms in my property and need some advise on removing tile that was placed on concrete and wire mesh.

The key is to know what the trends are in terms of floor plan, finishes etc. and to know what the values are and not overshoot.
