Outdated HVAC.Sub flooring under toilet and kitchen sink is rotted from leaking.All windows (6) are original and need to be replaced.Driveway is crumbled.Kitchen cabinets and counter tops are in really bad shape. 

I wouldn't waste money on upgraded cabinets (unless you're talking high dollar housing) or virtually anything behind walls.

One unit just needed a deep clean, we painted the cabinets in the second, and had to do some plumbing in the third.

Hi all - my folks are in their  middle 60's and have lived in KC metro (Blue Springs, MO) for around 8 or so years - they are wanting to relocate back to where myself & sister live to be with family/spend time with the grand kids.Here's a link to their present listing   http://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/1308-NW-Deer-...I think their present realtor sucks and am trying to motivate them to fire her - I'm fairly certain she has the square footage listed wrong - there is about another 1000 finished square footage in the basement she has left off and simply put the listing on the MLS doing nothing else - her ad copy sucks, no video, no facebook etc.This is a VERY well built house and I'm not saying that since they are related - if I had any desire to live here I'd move in a heartbeat - maple cabinets, hard surface counters, great location - easy to get to I70 and get around, close to shopping etc - nice neighborhood etc - one of the lower priced houses in the neighborhood etc etc.I dont want them to get screwed out of money and the current realtor is heading down that path.Anyways if there are any good Kansas City area Missouri side or Blue Springs based agents please contact me.  

We have re-done the kitchen (upgraded appliances, painted cabinets, new knobs, etc), opened up floor plan, uncovered hardwood floors, and will soon be building better closets.             

The house has refinished hard wood, new carpet, new baths, refinished cabinets, new appliances, new paint, new 6 panel doors, new lights, fixtures, door handles etc.

I have a customer that it took 2 months to get non-paying tenant out, when they did, he was using his living room as a marijuana grow house, all flooring had to come out and his pitbull tore up every cabinet in the house.

Pay attention to the finish work, look in the cabinets, are they corrugated wood, solid wood, etc., what's on the floors, look at the quality of windows, etc.

Insurance funds went toward floor, cabinets, counter tops (because the cabs were messed up and had to be ripped out, the counters cracked), some baseboard, some painting.

.- Unless you're going for a really nice kitchen, you can do a kitchen in a house that size with new custom cabinets, granite and new SS appliances for around $10k.
