I continuously educated myself on Real Estate, and I am putting pieces together to execute my strategy into Real Estate.

(I may or may not have learned that last piece of advice the hard way... ;0 )

Hard to say exactly Leslie If you look below you will see it was smart shopping that helped. the faucets cost not much more than regular because I sought out clearance and odd lot dealers, goose neck faucet 129 water fall faucet 39 from amazonrainfall shower head 39 from amazonI spent 900 for both laundry center functionality wiring and plumbing and retrofitting the preexisting closet to function as a portal for the laundry center plus 400 a piece for each stack washer dryer from scratch and dent supply house.the most money over builder grade was the under cabinet lighting which was relatively cheap about 20.00and perhaps the fancier vanity lighting and living room and kitchen lighting purchased from odd lots 10 bucks a piece retail value 60-100 a piecelaminate over carpet was actually a bit of a savings.so overall maybe 1500 over normal renovating costs for both units.I purchased oops paint so I saved there.worked side by side with the contractor hands on in the dirtto save money and learn at the same time.and countless hours working on the design elements.on one unit I repurposed a track light and hung it as a vanity light it looked awesome and cost me $5.00I bought a round mirror from ikea for 14.00 so no extra money thereput a glass shelf underneath total cost for bathroom remodel not including vanity $ 27.00

The usual course is to paint the cabinets a glossy white and add brushed nickel knobs and replace a few small pieces of hardware so that they close properly and look alright. 

Basic stainless appliance suite at Home Depot or Lowes, about $2200 for 4 pieces or less than $2000 for 3.

Start with putting plastic all over the floors and walls if you want to catch the falling pieces.

Two pieces of advice - spend that discretionary income on things that appreciate or are income producing and not things that depreciate. 

. $1.19 a piece?

I was more thinking that by piecing together 2-3 investors worth of funds, I could get enough to buy a cashflowing property or two.I guess what I'm struggling with is: I know whats in it for me, but how do I structure the deal so that the investors see enough reward that its worth it for them?

Based on the ARV I'd tile, surround enclosure or one piece tub shower if possible.
