Also, depends on price point- you can buyer cheaper wood windows and paint them dark if you don't want to pay for the SDL. but of course you'll have all the issues that come with wood, but get the look on a budget :)

If your new to investing and would like to learn or know more about how to analyze a flip budget a rehab and see how it is done.

Decide what strategy you want to implement and then discuss with the realtor as to which markets would work best based on your budget and strategy and take it from there!

I've heard of folks setting up the "budget" payments through their power and gas company so you pay the same price every month and then you either pay in at the end of the year or they refund money back to you.

I have been looking for a home to live in for me and my family in New York, but that's not working out for my budget, so we are expanding our search and fell upon Montague.  

(To be fair though, I'm only using Mint for my personal budgeting). 

If you can buy right with the appropriate budget to provide all of the updates, they can be a real treasure.  

We want to get funding to cover the approximately $100,000 remaining rehab budget.  

@Melissa Kirchhoff Not to complicate your analysis further but in order to understand your budget around cleaning, supplies, etc. you need to know your strategy.
