Getting quotes from GCs to complete interior renovations - mostly paint/carpet/minor kitchen and bathroom stuff.

If you're buying properties that just need a coat of paint and some new carpet, then no, it's not that difficult.

To me, minimal means I'm going to clean some carpet, put less than $500 in new/replace material into it and then paint a couple rooms.What you want to do here is turn "minimal" into a number.  1.

Day 15-19: Unexpected Support IssuesAs can be the problem with ripping down walls "to the studs", we found that some aspects of the house contained shoddy work with the framing and dry rot.

The rehab work we did was not counted because it was mostly paint and repairs.

New paint , new floors, the bathrooms need new tile, new floors, new cabinets.

Had to rip out a bunch of tiles the next day to re-do when I noticed that.Another big mistake that I always seem to repeat is hiring my high school students/wrestlers (that I coach) to help me paint.

Lights, appliances, and furnace all worked, good neutral paint, tile on first floor, carpet upstairs; couldn't test the plumbing since the water is turned off.
