Julie Marquez sorry to poke my nose into your question, but as for drywall, honestly you might run into a bit of trouble with a dry waller not wanting to mud the walls/ceiling for as cheap as you'd like purely based off the reason that they didn't install it, but there definitely is the exception.

hi gys -i've closed on a foreclosed property.we're now getting ready to sell it.the unit is vacant. its a high grade quality condominium - but has no light fixtures from the builder in living room and bedrooms -that is typical in these developments.something obvious that i did not realized until now was that most lighting in occupied units come from floor lamps and custom fixtures installed by owners/ tenants - all of which is now gone since they moved out.so now i feel that even if we put the best quality floors and paint in this unit - it wont show half as good as a staged house that may not even have quality materials.so the question - how do investors, house flippers and you guys typically do the showings?

Is this a DIY project or does it need to be done by a plumber? 

Loan Amount:  $45,000Annual Interest Rate: 15%Term: 5 year amortization schedule1st year only one payout, interest prepayment for that year, paid at the time of initiation of the note ($6,750).1st year investment $45,000-$6,750 = $38,250.Monthly payments commence at the beginning of the second year, continuing from month 13 to month 600, in equal installments of $1,252, until the loan is paid off at the end of month 60.No Collateral.What do you think?

I had to install a sump pump and a NEW WATER HEATER (there was already a working water heater down there and the flood ruined it).  

I'm in the middle of a rehab, contractors installing the plumbing but I don't want to start installing copper until I have power on.

I've discovered - for the pink fluffy batt insulation anyway - that you can hire a company to provide and install the insulation cheaper than you can buy the insulation yourself.

It is usually published as a single volume per year, but in weekly instalments.  

Obviously contractors have different costs all over the nation, but if I'm doing new flooring/paint/appliances ignoring kitchen hardware we are looking at:Flooring: 1000 sq foot RENTAL --- RENTAL quality flooring $2,500/unit = $5,000Paint: $650/unit (or do it yourself if you want to save on some labor) = $1,300Appliances (Installed): Fridge $550; Dishwasher $425; Stove/Oven $550 X2 of everything = $3,0505% Downpayment assuming list price sale: $5,600Closing costs (2.5% of sales price): $2,800TOTAL INITIAL INVESTMENT: $17,750Cashflow (assuming your expenses and rent hold): $200/moCash on Cash return: 13.5% --- GO GET THAT IN THE STOCK MARKET!!

The cost of fixture installation and drain connection are listed as separate line items (leaving me with a total plumbing budget between $3670 and $7190, with a mid-range price coming in around $5430).
