In this case, if the hardwood floors are a "6 out of 10" and everything around them is brand new, they're going to look like a 2 out of 10 by the time you're done.

I moved here to extend my brand/train as well as pursue other things such as real estate.

As I recall I bout something like 15 brand new windows for $100 plus the time to remove them...these windows were used to rehab house #5 and helped to secure the high selling price.6.

You can fully design it on the site and they will print it.

My name is Andy Thompson and I am brand new to real estate investing.

@Donald Kimball Right, the design of an FHA loan is not to flip.

I would be working with the realtor and designer to get their 'buy-in' on the colors/style for a faster sale.Would you sell the place as is, and use the rehab money for the purchase of a second property, or go ahead  use it to rehab?

The 150/sq foot construction costs didn't include soft costs like demo, architectural designs, and landscaping (another 50k maybe).

The triumphs (Yes, I did just score a closeout deal on product that actually matches the design and adds $800 to the bottom line) and the Marketing and selling (which is where the fun really begins).

A duplex for 330k in the area is a little steep, is it a brand new duplex in a very pricey area?
