Looking for a handyman for minor fixes such as leaking faucets, cabinet repair, paintjobs, and any other misc repair.Let me know if you have someone you use and would recommend.Thanks in advance!

I use the same paint and line of cabinets usually, and things like tile have a common feel and style, but other items will vary. 

The last time they went on vacation for 4 days, I did a complete kitchen remodel (flooring, cabinets, countertops, paint, etc.).  

This leaves me only with the contractor.Specifically, I'm just looking at properties that need cosmetic work that can be rehabbed without structural work, but may need roof repair, basic plumbing or cabinet replacement.

look it up on loopnet in maryvilleThis property defines "deferred maintenance" and needs every bathroom, fixture, cabinet, door, window, floor, appliance, septic systems, supply plumbing,(currently galvanized) hvac systems,water heaters etc replaced, plus all the cosmetics.rehab would easily be over $200k , but the 50 year old septic systems might last a little longer!

That being said, would the properties be more valuable if I left the first floor in the same layout and add a half bath to the dining room, or would it make more sense to move the kitchen cabinets and appliances into the dining room since there'd still be room for a table and make a laundry room and half bath out of the kitchen area? 

Other than painting the kitchen cabinets and replacing the light fixtures, I didn't do much to it.  

Usually when using either 2", 3", or 6" tile you can get away with no cuts along the top where wall cabinets are.

She also said that flooring and cabinets in need of updating are considered cosmetic so it will come down to how the appraiser presents what it found.  

I wouldn't put too much money into it, probably paint the kitchen cabinets and move some other things around in the kitchen, update the bathroom (possibly a gut-job), update the fireplace and flooring throughout, and paint the other rooms.
