4.On a large (for me) commercial reno and running of the business, are there certain things I should keep in mind that might throw my numbers if I don’t account for like code for Handicap, massive overhead bills, or something of the like, (sorry if I’m sounding ridiculous but I’m really in the dark here).I haven’t seen the inside apart from the pictures.Without knowing the floor plan and such, it may be difficult as an inexperienced investor to know exactly what I want to do with the floor plan on the spot for the contractor to estimate.

Its Hudson County.No crazy remodelling - just putting in new cabinets, counters, backsplash, and new floor tiles.Baths - new fixtures, vanities to tubs, lighting, floor and wall tiles.Any leads?

At that time I had my own business in flooring and installation plus my only property investment in old town Coppell.I was lucky that I have a wife that has been saving money for about 25 years.  

You can save serious finish out expense by building with a 100% hardiplank exterior, using vinyl plank flooring, and stock hardwood cabinets.

We have been looking in Pittsburgh for cheaper rental properties in need of minor updates (painting, flooring, etc) in order to do most of our own work and get the property turned around and rented.

For example, getting rid of carpet floors when they end their useful life.  

Are the floors wood look ceramics?

Left the back yard a blank slate for the buyers to figure out? 

It's being cleaned up, fixed up with new floors, painted walls etc(I have a other thread on it). 

Lastly, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but to my fellow KC area investors, could you recommend good local places to go (or other forum posts that reference this) for building materials, i.e. flooring, paint, appliances, etc.?
