I am settled in the Knoxville area and work at the one of (if not the) largest Building Materials and Hardware Supply stores in the area and have a great knowledge of the homebuilding/repair process, as well as the handyman/construction skills to do essentially anything in terms of rehabbing.

I had 2 apartments vacant and it was a little bit stressful this week trying to finish things up in the apartments with store closing not knowing what was going to be essential business and what wasn’t.

There were a few items on my shopping list that were out of stock but honestly, that happens regularly at Costco. 

By the time you hit 12 years, you will be out of pocket for at least one (or 2) roof, 2 kitchens, 4 paint jobs, 2 new floors, driveway, and other misc items that will add up. 

A son who had a store manager job who's  now a car salesman.

Also just chiming in on the previous threads, for your future analysis these calculators are little misleading and leave quite a few items out of the equation let me explain:When you analyze a deal for rehab buy and hold you need to split it in two.1) Rehab project.

Some jobs around where  live are offering as much extra hours as people will work, such as the grocery stores and major retail stores. 

And no limit to how much is matched.Earn 5% cash back on everyday purchases at different places each quarter like grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, select rideshares and online shopping, up to the quarterly maximum when you activate.Plus, earn unlimited 1% cash back on all other purchases - automatically.Redeem cash back any amount, any time.

I put the key that the previous landlord had given me in the lock, it didn't work, then I recalled that the tenant had been home each and every time we had visited, before and after the purchase, so now I have a new item on my new purchase checklist- verify that the keys work! 

What would be big ticket items you can suggest to bring the house to its full potential at appraisal?
