The only contractors I know that can and and will work within that payment structure are contractors that hold the designation as a Certified 203k Contractor. 

It’s a living room, dining room, eat in kitchen, bathroom with a stand up shower and then front and rear porches with an enclosed semi private small yard on the ground level, and then 3 bedrooms, a full bathroom and a pretty big walk in hallway closet on the 2nd floor.

I was watching that Bill Gates documentary and he was talking about the toilet of the future and how he is funding competitions for university students to design it.

Their job is to bring you an opportunity, not be an appraiser, designer, contractor, inspector, therapist or fortune teller.

The kitchen is super modern now and probably the nicest part.

Yep, new plumbing, new wiring, modern kitchen ... but original footprint, wood siding and hardwoods — Give and take with the new and old. 

Sometimes its as simple as replacing a boring light fixture in a kitchen, adding a programmable thermostat, or removing troublesome landscaping.
