So far I've been trying to itemize the rehab costs and looking at Lowes online site looking for remodel materials, if either of you have tips, tricks or advice on good and durable materials for a rental (long term) it would be very helpful.

@Shamar G. welcome to BP, I'm new to the REI end of things as well but I am a Licensed Architect experienced in residential remodeling and construction.

I am about to buy a house for me personally and just want some advice. people who have bought there home last year doing no remodeling at least have 50k positive equity already probably more.

We are in escrow for our primary SFH 3BR/2BTH 1100 sqft home, which is in original condition and looking for recommendations for expansion/remodel including1) Looking for advice/recommendations for adding about 500 sq ft to add a new MBR suite with walking closed and full bath.I came to this 500 sqft figure, as I read that getting permits for something under 500sqft is easier and can be done over counter.2) We also need to update existing 2 full bathrooms and do complete kitchen remodel3)All cosmetics including new flooring, garage finish, new paint, knobs, switches etc.Looking for advice here how should I approach different people.

We completely remodeled the house.

As long as everything goes to plan I think our remodel will look amazing and I’m having doubts about renting it out and BRRRing the property.

The back unit is a 2 bed/2 bath and is currently being remodeled.

I’m seeing remodeled homes that I can easily buy.

Remodel, improve performance, and sell or refi based on your goals.
