I personally buy all materials and pay labor weekly, but never ahead of what it would cost me to hire someone else to come in and complete the work plus about 10%.

Basic Stainless Steel Appliance Package: $2,500 (frig, stove/oven combo, vent hood, dishwasher, with labor to install - we do not include microwave)New Roof: $4,000 (new tin roof - prices vary greatly depending on # of squares area on the roof)New Carpet: $2,000 (includes new pad with aprox. carpeted area of about 1000 sq. ft.)Bathroom Remodel: $2,500 (new ceramic tile shower stall, new ceramic tile flooring, new vanity, mirror, light fixtures, sink, and faucet fixture)Paint Interior: $3,000 (includes painting and some general drywall/finishing prep work)New Vinyl Siding: $3,500 (covering existing cladding with vinyl siding)Paint Exterior: $2,000 (2 coats of exterior paint, minimal prep work)All of these are VERY basic estimates based on a house with 1400 square feet of total interior space.

I would review some of the podcasts as well as research some of the materials in the learn section.

This couple has maintained and managed this place with good quality material, equipment, workmanship and as good landlords.

I guess the part I'm shocked about is why would the house appraise for exactly $30k more which was the price of labor/materials alone?

The package is pretty big and I have an offer of 1% commission for the entire package.

I've read a great deal of material, done a ton of research, but I'm a hands on kinda guy...so for me I think its the next logical step.

Please don't be nervous, as there are lots of materials that you can read, that will help to build up your confidence.

But when I create marketing materials, how do I write my social media addresses??

If it's in good shape, we turn it over ourselves quickly and move on, charging tenants for any materials that we feel are over and above (like our carbon monoxide detectors were missing, so we charged them for new ones).
