Worth just doing it rather than painting or something like that.In that kitchen fireplace, assuming it is entirely non-operational, I have seen some with cabinets built into them that look quite nice, and if your budget extends to a large stand-alone range, that is the perfect spot for it.

In the next few months I plan on updating my kitchen by refacing my cabinets, putting in a new countertop, and buying new appliances (need to install dishwasher as there is currently not one).  

Got it as an REO, previous owner did all the demo for me, took all doors, light fixtures, appliances, cabinets/counters and the furnace with him.

You can always go down but not always up unless zoned.MOST are converted back by knocking out blocked off door or stairway if they have outside treacherous steps,,demo those too,,and demo crappy cabinets upstairs.most of these are so bad of shape nobody wants to rent them anyhow,,,or landlord paid utilities exceed market rent anyway.they all go to rent subsidized ground floor apartments,,nicer and cheaper

Some people like to do it early in the project (before the flooring, cabinets, finishings, etc) and some like to do it at the end.

Asking price is $29k and it needs "about" $25k in repairs, which can be purchased along with the property.The repairs include all new entry doors, new PEX plumbing, new vinyl windows, new kitchen cabinets and countertops, electrical upgrades with new fixtures, new toilets, new tubs, new vanities, painting, drywall work, new vinyl tile in kitchens and baths, and new carpet.

EricI've worked around numerous GC's, in my development days, who have been heavily involved in flipping for years.I would always ask for information from them, as what sells and what is worth installing.There is ways to cut corners to do things right, and ways to cut corners to do things wrong.For instance, new hardware and painting old cabinets (with good structure) you can save and look good.Other info (that relates to your thread) they all gave to me was this: The Man writes the checks, The Woman picks the house.Your house needs to appeal to the woman market.

Having all the plumbing, wiring, cabinets, drywall, appliances (including the HVAC and Hot Water Heater), flooring, etc... stolen is quite common.

If they refuse or do not pay rent, then you can start eviction right away.Ok, so how do I expect them to pay rent if I need to re-tile the place or put in new cabinets, etc?
