That being the case, you need to become an expert on analizing the costs yourself.Here is what I would suggest: Spend many hours at Home Depot and/or Lowes to familiarize yourself with costs on typical rehab items such as flooring (carpet, tile, travertine, etc), toilets, bathroom vanities, sliding mirror doors, interior doors, baseboards, door casings, light fixtures (celing fans, etc) paint costs + paint supplies (tarps, brishes, rollers, etc), windows, sliding glass doors, kitchen cabinets and countertops, sod, trees, plants, bushes, ground cover, etc.

As someone who works the probate niche, I've been painted an ambulance chaser...So I guess I can deal with the perception of being unprofessional by someone who colors me so by way of hawking his own product.

Is this type of paint worth the extra money?

New Roof, New front porch, paint everywhere and remodel of the kitchen and bath.1 month to rehab.

If there isn't paint on it, and it just looks "tired", try elbow grease & orange glow

It needs carpet and paint, so minor repairs and has all appliances minus washer and dryer.

In LOW INCOME rentals, I paint the floors if they are old wood floors.

Look for something with good bones, that just needs cosmetic upgrades (flooring, fixtures, paint, cabinets, etc).  

Bathrooms - Must be fully functional.Pools - Equipment must be functional and water must be clear enough to see bottom.Paint - No peeling paint (especially if date of construction is pre-1978).Floors - No bare concrete.
