After walking through it, to get it up to our standards we would need to put 30-50k into it right away or asap for renovations on outdated kitchens and bathrooms.

I have a Duplex that is a century home I would like to update the kitchen with new cabinets and flooring.

Renovation takes time, hurts occupancy, and if certain things (like kitchen cabinets) are in the middle of their life there's no need to look a gift horse in the mouth. 

This week I have 2 sellers I'm meeting with. the first has a 3bd/1ba house from 1885 that needs EVERYTHING. he put in new walls. it needs floors raised, a kitchen, 2 ba, lights, etc. repairs were estimated at 49k by my contractor.

Only moving 2 walls, moving kitchen from one end of a room to the other, and rebuilding a deck, but other than those two items it is all just finishings.

Hi BP,I recently bought a house in West Jordan, Utah and I'm looking into putting a kitchen in the basement so that I can rent out two rooms.

"Offer pending home inspection or through inspection by a licensed contractor to cover (but not limited to) plumbing, foundation, roof, structure, hvac, appliances, etc.  

CapEx is comprised of large, irregular expenses that need to be taken care of every couple of years (new roof, new kitchen, plumbing/electrical overhaul).Here's an unwise approach:"My roof is 15 years old and has approximately 5 years left.

Added a half bath, new stain less steel kitchen appliances, and the roof is a year old.

I'm making my second ever offer on a property tomorrow and would like to hear from pro wholesalers, what are some things you say to sellers to absolutely get the contract signed. the property has good curb appeal great block, needs some work on the roof, plumbing, and electrical, floors, and updated kitchen, and windows.
