I've used lines of credit, credit card advances, credit cards for materials, personal loans, big seller credits, and combinations thereof.... and equity partners when the deals were too big for the other methods. 

If you replace one of the plywood floor panels with original material it will be about $800 per 4 x 8 sheet. 

I bought one & had to put metal bars on windows & doors for extra security & pay several ppl to remove trash that was illegally dumped in back.

If you don't know what it is, treat it as a hazardous material, you might not want to know as you'd need to call in a professional bunch to remove it!

My big problem with his program is the $1495 price tagPersonally I don't think that is expensive at all relative the the prices of material out there.

My unit turn ended up costing around what @Mark Ainley stated slightly more because they didn't include some materials and ended up charging me extra.

We had newer appliances when we moved in that we replaced the crappy ones and we built a temporary cabinet with leftover material.

Because of this I have a good idea of material costs, but I’m rusty on labor.

He is even willing to help fix it up and has some of the materials like the original cabinets that can be used.It seems like this could be a good opportunity but I am concerned that I may not be worth the risk.

Not to mention the contractors are making their money repairing these homes, buying local materials and keeping the economy moving.
