Begin figuring out what a kitchen is costing per Linear foot, flooring is costing per sq foot (installed) and make sheets.Hope it helps and good luck!

However he is saying it’s going to be a tough grind because its a old block house that had tons of concrete on inside walls & during the demolition the extra manpower it took...we wanted an open floor plan.

Support - I will be asking the builder if the floor will be sturdy enough to support everything that comes with a bedroom 3.

Today he visited the planning commission and while they agreed it's a commercial property (he would live on the top floor and run a store in the bottom half), the person he spoke with at the office said there's a concern that there's not enough parking.

The roof structure was caving in, the dormer was not put in right and showed signs of leaking, floors where very oft needing a complete replacement, furnace and water heater was under water and now needs to be replaced, the downstairs basement had signs of mold.The positive side of things was the lot, the lot was very large.So my question to the community is(1) Is this normal in foreclosure property?

If a C class area is revitalizing, you can really clean up with the property appreciation.

Due to removing the orig, wood windows, casing, door jambs, the plan turned into removing all the plaster walls on the 1st floor and insulating and drywalling.

It's a small 2/1 734 sf house with a flat roof that probably needs repairs, wall ac units that I would convert to mini-splits, and other general upgrades in the house (floors, kitchen, bathrooms, doors). 

You need a new slab looks like or at least a wood floor.

My partners and I acquired some great real estate in a small downtown and plan to develop a nice mixed-use project to include retail/restaurants on the first floor with condominiums above that on the second and third floors.
