I need to replace the floor and paint the interior house (walls, trip, 2 doors) The contractor that I worked with him until now raised his prices dramatically and I would like to create a benchmark for me in order to make sure I'm not overpayingI like to ask you from your experience, how much should cost installation of the vinyl floor (materials and work) for 1 sqftAnd how much should cost regular interior paint: (walls, trip, 2 doors)  for 720sqft.

So if your separating, ask the specific question what rules apply to a new loan if you retain the old one.  

Needs gut reno -new elec, plumbing, remove interior staircase/ add exterior stair, remove hallway walls which are structural/ load-bearing, etc  ($200-300K) AFV $3m.

I think I'm wiser and can see the writing on the wall and smell a crash coming.

(This doesn't mean they have to be a total wreck, but maybe someone started remodeling and there are some open walls or they don't have a working bathroom, or the roof needs to be replaced immediately.) 

We don't have to be soulless bottom line leaches like wall street.

I do this for every rehab, and for me, it's a personal walk-through of the house that I do myself, not a checklist for someone else (and I'm normally big on checklists and delegating, but not for this super-critical task)...In fact, this is one of the few things that I don't trust to my contractors, my project managers or even my wife to do...you only get one chance to impress a buyer, an inspector and an appraiser, and if there are punchlist items that aren't fixed, you can easily blow a sale or take a hit on price.Basically, I step into every room, look at every wall, carpet and ceiling, open and close every door and window, test every appliance, test every electrical fixture (I even use an electrical tester on all the outlets), test every plumbing fixture, test the HVAC, etc.At first, I would walk around with an inspector checklist...but it's all second nature.

Install new locks on parking area and basement door. $150.00First floorVestibule and interior door including walls trim and doors.

That is when you need to replace carpeting, paint walls, replace lights or plumbing fixtures, replace doors and repair windows, etc.
