And it's gorgeous, believe me... new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paint, appliances, the whole nine.

It has original hardwood floors in need of some TLC.

(Our last purchase involved moving an electric panel to a common hallway for the 2nd floor apt.  

I have never hired a contractor before.The property needs to have the deck redone, foundation repaired (pier and beam), 2 bathrooms gutted and redone, removing some linoleum flooring and replacing with matching hardwood, possible HVAC installation.

We are doing some home renovations (master suite, windows, entry door, and all new flooring through the entire home).  

Now we have found an awesome place in the mountains, but that needs significant work for remodel (new boiler, plumbing, insulation, bathrooms, windows, flooring, drywall...).

We figure $3sf for laminate floors so that multiplied with a quick SF number + tile gives us floors, etc, etc.  

The tile flooring did not match throughout the house, the grout lines were not even, and some areas around the edge of the time had almost 2" of grout instead of cutting a piece of tile for the edge.

I did completely renovate the rest of the units, kitchen, baths, floors, etc so I don't expect to have major expenses aside from the ones I mentioned.  

We are putting in new floors, total paint job inside and out, new kitchen.
