Some people like to do it early in the project (before the flooring, cabinets, finishings, etc) and some like to do it at the end.

EricI've worked around numerous GC's, in my development days, who have been heavily involved in flipping for years.I would always ask for information from them, as what sells and what is worth installing.There is ways to cut corners to do things right, and ways to cut corners to do things wrong.For instance, new hardware and painting old cabinets (with good structure) you can save and look good.Other info (that relates to your thread) they all gave to me was this: The Man writes the checks, The Woman picks the house.Your house needs to appeal to the woman market.

Having all the plumbing, wiring, cabinets, drywall, appliances (including the HVAC and Hot Water Heater), flooring, etc... stolen is quite common.

If they refuse or do not pay rent, then you can start eviction right away.Ok, so how do I expect them to pay rent if I need to re-tile the place or put in new cabinets, etc?

The kitchen cabinets are dated, but hardware, and or/paint and hardware can make a major difference in the way they look.

The scope of work on this potential deal will be cosmetic and systems - such as interior & exterior paint, new plumbing, electrical, kitchen cabinets, some windows, refinishing wood floors and maaaaaybe a new roof.

NOTE that they are actually listed above and in front of the President's Cabinet.

Homeowners confirmed that they received the shock package, told door knocker that they were "underwater" and that a contractor had stole $80,000 from them, and that a lien had been put on the house as a result from a cabinet maker whom never got paid by the contractor.  

A tree fell on our house after we owned it for 6 months and completely destroyed everything BUT the kitchen (which we repainted the cabinets white and got new appliances anyway so it looked fairly updated).  6 months later, we got to move into it again and a year or 2 later, foreclosure since the housing market was bad and we moved to a new state.  

Scrub everything really good including the inside of cabinets.
