What cosmetic materials would y'all recommend on adding to a flip to generate more profit while saving money? 

Get folks lined up to do the work and get the materials chosen. 

So while all your friends are blowing cash on material things, you stay home, save money and read.someone else said to work on your credit rating, and that's also really valuable. 

This means that in order for a repair to be deducted currently rather than capitalized and depreciated, the repair must not be material to the system as a whole.

depends on the square footage you can estimate cost per square foot but it depends in the materials your using and what they cost in your area, when you say not salvageable what do you mean exactly?

There were additional training materials available but they were not pitched and had zero pressure to purchase any of them.As @Jay Hinrichs indicated many of these guys are Jack Miller disciples or colleagues.I am of the same opinion of many among the bp community that 'gurus' are a big waste of money.

It's interesting how the high end materials used  impressed buyers; they really got emotional.

Hello Grace,Re: Title Insurance in Washington & Selling PropertyThe best approach is to contact (google) a/few title insurance companies and ask them how long do you have to hold the property before they will offer you title insurance - most usually say about (1) year, but please check with each title insurance company--as some will not but some will after a certain time-period (e.g. 1 year, etc.).You can market the property "subject to the tax deed that you hold"---just state that in your sales & marketing materials and/or with a realtor/broker if you are working with one.Also, you may want to seek-out other Tax Sale Buyers/Investors who may be interested in it as-is.Hope this Help you! 

I would prefer to fix plumbing and HVAC issues -Full electrical rewire including service with gutted house @ 15k -Hardwood floors and install (low grade wood) @ 10k-Furnace + Water heater @2.3k-Drywall material and labor @ 10k -Plumbing supply replacement and drain refresh @ 3k-Roof @ <5k Every market is absolutely different, so you are right that possibly in Oregon and definitely in California a buyer would request wiring to be re-done on a house that wasnt priced accordingly.

So the whole main floor has been renovated (new bath, kitchen, appliances, tore down and fixed sagging trusses, etc etc) and so now i have about 2200 left and i want to fix up the basement with mostly free materials, and paint the outside and fix the fence (minor things) so i am just wondering how far i should go with all these renovations?
