How do you remodel for such low costs?

[Karen M.]

As I started to learn a little bit more about flipping and rehabbing and making places rent ready -- it is amazing to me how people are succeeding with low cost remodeling.  Simply, how do you do it?

We have just been working on our own home, and while I understand some of the materials are a little nicer, I still don't know how people can really change a whole house for a low remodel cost.

@Dawn Anastasi  shared recently that she did a whole house and new windows for a low cost!  Dawn, how did you do it? 

I assume you are working directly with contractors and acting as your own general.  Even pulling permits is expensive.  

I would love to know your basic strategies for budget remodeling that is good quality for your properties.  Thanks so much!
