I recently purchased 1BR condo on the 3nd floor.

- told me to climb into attic (he was too large) & pull the wiringso he could do the connections on the 2nd floor.- $600 later everything gets approved & then find out the lic elect recommended was a relative of the inspector.

We don't have to make 30k in profit because we're planning on holding it for 2-4 years while we live in it.We're on a 203k loan (and we've talked to the listing agent and mortgage broker and both feel we can get the loan done before the sellers bank demands closing) and a 203k wants licensed contractors to do most of the work.So without further ado:Repairs Number of units CostDrywall repair 25/patch x 5 500Tiling in Kitchen 7/sq ft x 84 650Refrigerator 1 2500Dishwasher 1 500Granite counter tops 60/sq ft x 54 3200Oven 1 600Paving the driveway 75/# of square yards 2500Updating 2 bathrooms 2 2000New fencing 200 lin feet 1500New Carpet 400 sq ft 1500OR Hardwood floors 400 sq ft 3000Dumpster 1x2 500Landscaping 3 yards 1000Opening front porch windows300/window x 3 900stone walkway .05 x 5616 sq in 310Paint interior 1800 sq ft 500Labor .5 of total cost 10000 30160Offer on House 45000Rehab amount 30000Total loan amount – down payment 72375Closing costs 4300Down payment loan 2625Upfront Cash needed 6925Monthly payment ~550/monthDo those numbers look anything close to realistic?

Electrical, HVAC, plumbing, roofing, flooring, drywall/plaster repair?

., as an investment sponsor in this operating space I obviously have some opinions, I'll try to frame an answer with as little bias as possible

thanks for the quick reply - its only about 4-5 years old (AO smith) and i dont think its a wind thing bc the vent goes to the top floor of a 3-story building.

There are some area upstairs that can be salvaged but the entire first floor must be taken apart.

It had the wide horizontal aluminum windows(which were getting replaced anyway), and painted concrete block on the first floor and painted plywood T 1-11 siding on the second.

Has great space inside but needs work and has good size front yard.

I would like to start with the ground floor since that stove is ready to go.Also, if you are in central MA and have any contacts for people who can do the job, let me know!
