We'll be doing a nice finish out on this one than I've done on prior rehabs.Here are some pics of foundation work going on and what happens to mortar when you repair foundation (and signs from damage prior).  

I've always been a full-rehab guy, never done a wholetail deal..but this came across my desk over the past few days: Purchase price: $98,500Retail value (in as-is condition): $125,000ARV with medium rehab (base finishes): $140,000I'm thinking I'll close, do about $1k in basic make ready repairs and put back on the market targeting the $125K price point and call it a day.  

I'm actually listing my 3rd finished rehab this week.  

I just finished reading it for the second time and found plenty of helpful information I'd forgotten after reading it before.Also follow this site.

I have seen it sanded down also (sand beyond the stain), and once you get that natural wood look back you can then laquer over it with a clear finish.

I was looking at houses in Richardson this weekend and came across a gentlemen that had just finished gutting two houses.

It looks like @John Moore jumped in and finished it off nicely.  

Even if you do love it, you can attain success from more than one type of REI.

Have you gone out to look at what is for sale in the price point you will be competing, what the finishes are, etc.?

The contractor has told me that he would be finished on time, but know he is not showing up some days and obviously on other jobs.
