I own my own condo that I purchased as a gutted-out foreclosure for 17k and have remodeled to be my current residence.

I thought if I evicted her it would cost me at least 5K to go in there , remodel to get rid of 11 years worth of cigarette smoke.

@John McAuley  What's opposite the toilet?  

2005-6 a bunch of condos...newly minted from a former 70's apartment complex but not remodeled in the process....were sold, often in pairs as they were 4-plex buildings, for about 2 times what they were worth. 150k The out of town mainly California buyers must have loved the walk to a "top" high school and grocery store location.

We completely renovated the home, new kitchen, refinished hardwood floors, bathroom remodel, basement overhaul, new carpet, etc.

I am fairly handy, and I can install cabinets, countertops, toilets, replace windows and doors, etc.

I am 31 years old with 14 years as a rough carpenter building new custom Homes and remodels, 7 years as a single/multi family building analyst.

You carefully study recent sales comps and decide that, remodeled to market standards, the property should go under contract for $200,000 within 60 days after the rehab is complete and it is placed on the market.

I am interested in Class A properties and a population of 500K or more.I also am interested in remodeling an undervalued asset if I can find a good deal which are hard to come by 

I think the guy refinishing the concrete partially sanded my toilet connection.
