I do not contact widows for obvious reasons and my approach is to cold call my lead sheet as opposed to direct mail.

I'm not opposed to it, just always had hardwoods to start and either matched or had a space that felt better with a different covering.

I assume you mean one exterior wall, meaning less than 25% of the structure is salvageable--is that right??

Here are my hopefully conservative estimated repairs:New Roof - $8k, Replace all Flooring - $9K, Complete Kitchen Remodel - $10k, Remodel Bathrooms - $8k, Interior Paint - $7k, New AC/Heater - $8k, Exterior Repairs - $1k (it looks good)Total Repair cost is $51KI only have 20K in cash, so I will need to initially purchase it with hard money with an estimated cost of 15k.70 percent rule says at $210K that I should only have about $147K invested in this deal.

@Latisha McAnyPlumbing, HVAC, electric, structure, foundation, interior, exterior.

I just got recently hit with Chicago city violations with exterior violations like window replacements and owner ID sign missing.

Just painting the interior and exterior of the house will exceed that budget.

Yes, the appraisal issue is a big question.The basic work it needs (without a formal home inspection at this point)... are the following:- Exterior - house either painted or siding- Interior - Full paint, bathrooms updated, kitchen updated (at least new countertops, appliances), kitchen/family room flooring.- The house is on pier and beam.

We were looking for a new Miami office and decided that we needed a custom office, which we owned as opposed to what was available on the rental market at the time.

It also helps us get to even more aggressive numbers as he will get our true rehab number as opposed to me going and thinking "alright, rehab will probably be somewhere like 50-60k."
