If you could get it cheap enough then I would be Knocking down walls and put a bath upstairs.

It's pretty cheap where I'm at to get licensed so I'm going to just get it.

One offered to wire my new houses when I was gonna build for 2000 including fixtures (cheap ones).

Get in there and find the very cheap properties that you can rehab, tenant and flip to investors who want to hold long term.

I don`t have a lot of money to play around with, and am acomplete greenhorn at almost every aspect of RE, but decided to get my toes wet and see if I could dust off my long-unused talent for picking winners and profitable money-makers, as well as my negotiation and sales skills, and take them to the next level, and applying them to RE.To that end, I made a small start to test out these unfamiliar waters, and bought a small, buildable, river-view lot (w/all utlities at lot)last month, for the price of a cheap used car.

Islands aren't cheap, and a lot of them that are small enoough to purchase the entire thing have weather issues and/or lack of drinking water.I do see some large fancy developments going in on larger islands where you don't own the entire island.

As they say "cheap usually isn't good and good usually isn't cheap".

@Atwan Kwan No one said it would be cheap to get energy bills lowered from $500 a month, or convenient.

How much prep work you do would depend on how much adhesive and how elevated it is from the floor.Recently did a house with part laminate, part vinyl, and we leveled the whole concrete subfloor (had lots of adhesive from carpets and some thinset/mortar from old tile).For the adhesive, we used a floor scraper (cheap tool that looks like a rake but with a blade that you attach to the end).

But it sounds more like they are just seeing how desperate you are to sell and if they can get in for cheap.
