Kitchen can be a place where stains and spillage happens a lot and you might not want to clean them every now and then.

New tenant told me she had asthma and I told her that I was having the carpets cleaned along with the entire house before they moved in, which I did. 

He didn't clean or nothing and left a few things.

We were hampered by the lack of electricity and water.

The home is just really outdated which is what most of the budget will be focused on.Draw 1Hook up 2nd floor heatComplete 2nd floor bathroomReplace 7 windows$8,000 Draw 2Patch and paint wallsInstall new flooring$7500Draw 3Install kitchen cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and appliancesYard clean up$15,500Total : $31,000
