My favorite part is when they start going through the house and just automatically start tallying up all the upgrades at face value to their bottomline...Its so realistic to just assume you will be able to ask (and get) more for your home (despite the comps) just because of some travertine floors and bullnose sheetrock...What a joke...

It did come in handy since I closed the company and vacated the space 6 months prior to the lease term.

I want to create a space that the client dreams about living in.

Outside of REI, I have a career in the IT space, having worked at various large financial firms in the NY/NJ area and now as a Solutions Architect at a small firm in the network appliance space.In the few weeks that I've been reviewing info here on BP, I have been very impressed with the sheer volume of talent and knowledge present in the community; it's truly humbling to see just how much there is to learn.

Hi everyone,Haven't been here in a while - I've been working on expanding my physical therapy practice.Found a space that will need to be renovated, and was wondering what is out there with respect to lighting?

People who are buying there are either doing major re-positioning - i.e total renovation of building or space and/or betting on huge appreciation.

More commonly you'll deal with it for stuff like flooring and appliances.

-bump in flooring where living room meets kitchen-sink supply lines cut short-needs virtually all the essentialsHere's the upside:- priced around 100k with comps of same sq ft going for 180-220k (most of which could use updating). fwiw, it sold for 350k at peak of market- up and coming area- strong rental area (close to a college)Is this worthy of buying to rehab, rent, and resell in a couple/few years (after the area has gentrified further)?

What is a conservative for laminate countertops and linoleum flooring?

I have no intentions on doing anything, I'm only asking to learn and know for the future.A fully fresh rehabbed property just came up on the MLS, new stainless energy efficient appliances, carpet, paint, floors, heating system, ect..Now, my questions are as followed.1) Seeming how all the work is pretty much done, is their any leverage in brining the price down or is it even worth to look at it in order to FLIP it?
