I saw some flooring on sale that I wanted, but had the wrong vehicle.

The whole house has been painted and brand new floors have been installed.

Hardwood flooring semi finished basement which "could use an update" no repairs needed at all (according to her)Still winging it I asked what area they're in...she gave me the address lol...but I jumped on zillow while keeping her talking...comps according to that is kind of useless....1 house 3doors down sold this July for 1022 others on the same road sold last year for 95k and 100kThe only thing that came to mind was sub-to so I asked "well ma'am I may have a couple options for you to consider...tell me what you would like to happen."

This requires fixing one basement wall that was damaged during the driveway job this spring.Moving the kitchen to the 1st floor bedroom and opening that up into the dining room to creat better flow and function.

- unless - unless they have priced it for auction style bidding, and $180,000 is the ground floor for minimum bidding?

It's a duplex with a 3/1 on the second and third floor and a 1/1 on the first floor I plan on living in.

Typical: paint, carpet/flooring, appliances, blinds, ....

or maybe you could get one room w/ lights & blinds, and get a CD of construction noises that repeats all night, like someone is inside installing hardwood floors, etc.

I hope you don't have hardwood floors, because it'd be very difficult to keep the dogs from scratching them - due to their weight.

So likely payment would happen just before start of construction.I have recruited a builder friend of mine to partner with, but Seattle is not his primary building area and SFH are more his specialty but he has done multiple townhome projects and a few apartments.I have found two private lenders willing to cover 100% costs of the following two options:Build 12000 square feet worth of town homes (seattle uses this floor to area ratio to determine building size , for townhomes the conversion is 1.2 build-able feet per lot square foot.
