I found only 2 completely remodeled colonials with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms that sold in April and May 2011, although they are over 1 mile from my subject property.

Kitchens are also one of my biggest eye catchers for my buyers as are the bathrooms and the front curb appeal.

The water heater started leaking 6 weeks after I signed the agreement and flooded the bathroom.

Ceramic or porcelain tile will last much longer, but I don't think it looks good except in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and entry areas.

How are you determining the value of 11 bedroom, 2 bathroom house?

This house hasd good bones but an apparent mold issue in the only bathroom and plumbing/wiring issues to boot.

On the other hand, I went to plenty of parties on the same block, in different duplexs, you would see huge holes in the wall from people being idiots, nasty bathrooms, trash everywhere etc.

We pay him hourly and he can do most of the rehab work we need done (replace windows, install hardwood/tile flooring, kitchen cabinets, appliances, bathrooms, basic electrical, basic plumbing, etc).

If you're pouring in a lot of improvements into a 400K house, having less than optimal windows might take away from the new flooring or would be the only sore spot in an otherwise spotless bathroom, you get the picture...Having said that, for a 60 year old house, the windows are part of the character of the home, I would try to keep them, do the sanding, caulking, and painting yourself, it shouldn't be a tough job.

Major fixer but lots of potential here.  10 bedroom, 0 bath home, around 5,000 to 10,000 square feet.  The property has real limestone floors, 3 stories, a solid red-stone foundation, a very large pool and lots of room to expand.  Home would need to be brought up to local building codes.  Buyer to verify permits.Offered at $500,000, includes wholesaling fee.Rehab estimate: $35k, needs new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof, some walls, a few bathrooms, windows, some foundation issues, and all interior fixtures.
