You may also wish to consult a real estate attorney to prepare a deed to make the title to the property "cleaner."

Nahhhhhhh..... never goes as planned LOL came to find out that he was growing weed in the converted garage and ripped out the carpet and some other random things. 

hmmmmReal Example: In 2002,we bought (owner occupied zero down payment) a $240,000 'list  price' -foreclosure (near Ballantyne-- 2800 sqft 4 BR. 3 BA on the golf course) from a local credit union and they had done A LOT of rehab.. new int/ext paint, new carpet,replaced inground pool equip and liner, new windows, refinished hw floors.. but during the inspection we found both HVAC systems were the original 1983.So i got quotes ($12,000) and financed that into the loan , funds escrowed and work started on the day of closing.Remember-- that only added $50 a month to my PITI.Then, usual buyer agent commissions run about 3% of the loan amountwhich at 100 % financing 240 + 12 is 252... so instead of 3% i wrote the offer to say 5% so instead of ~~7500 i paid myself $10,000+( which added another $50 a month to my payment.

Also I understand Taxes are very high in woonsocket right now which is a big deterrent for people to buy properties in the city, Though driving through the city in general it is look a lot cleaner and the schools are getting revamped.Please let me know what you thinkAJ

She demands that I put carpet in an apartment (which was already rented to an applicant before she called) over the brand new laminate flooring.

I was told that all of the units were rehabbed 3 years ago with new water heaters, new tile flooring, new kitchens and bathroom vanities along with paint and new carpet in the rooms.

Tenant damaged carpet in one of the units, that has solid pine hardwood underneath.

New roof, floors (carpet or hard surface) new HVAC?

Tenants can be really hard on carpet!

A few years back we were taken to the cleaners by a GC that I eventually turned into the state board of contractors.
