Use the maintenance guy for low risk tasks like toilets clogs and basic tasks, but not renovations.

If you can't afford to have an attorney write a contract from the ground up, an option is to buy a pre-made contract from the American Institute of Architects: http://www.aia.org/contractdocs/index.htmI had to do a couple 200k+ projects on these AIA contracts back when I did remodeling with my dad - in every case we used these, it was on recommendation from an attorney and I never ran across an attorney that saw any need to modify an AIA contract.

Someone told me that there is new legislation coming down the pike that will require much more work when dealing with a remodel that has lead paint...like tenting the whole house and upping the cost considerably.

I really like the toilet in the backyard.

I’m on my fourth request for the basic contact information and have received nothing.I feel as a business person who buys homes in bad shape, remodels them and sells them that I have been wronged:1.I should be the “market” as an investor that HUD targets and should make conducting business an easy process.

Concrete block and poured floor painted with a stainless steel toilet bolted to the floor and stainless sink and mirror should work.

Now based on my estimate of $35,000 plus to do this I am having second thoughts due to the current reduction in sales price.I was wondering based on the information I have given, anyone who buys and remodels, hazard a guess as to what I might expect as a reduced sales price if I choose to just sell it as is ??

Land is at a premium, if a person could find any, and older homes in established neighborhoods to remodel are the standard.

i forgot to mention it was a bolt on the "toilet" lol

The vinyl floor tiles were coming unglued, toilets didn't flush well, vanity was barely attached to wall.
