@Mike OConnor any update? Pics? How did financing and building go? I'm looking at doing something similar with a few buddies.

What is the "terrible rate" of which you speak? @Kevin Mitchell and @Gerard Gonzalez. The trade off for a fast sum of money is a higher rate, but I am curious what that rate looks like. I just received a marketing piece in the mail, and hadn't heard of them yet.
Mine was a 10. I'm in the process of refi to get a lower rate. I needed the quick cash to get a few jobs done right away.

Hi @Guevara M.,
The absolute best prices I have found on cabinets in the store have been at Lowes. Below is a picture of one of my properties, the cabinets cost about $125 to $175 each for a total of $3,100. The downside is that because they are stock cabinets there are not alot of 'custom' things you can do with them.
PS - If you use any major retailer to install your cabinets, alot of times they will give you the cabinets for free and have you make up the cost in installation so you can save sales tax.
Any reason you prefer over HD? Or just personal preference?

Im trying to use them to pull a quick refi and then refi into a lower interest rate with another bank once I complete renovations. I thought it would be super easy but it seems like a pain. Also having to link all of your financial accounts seems a little shady to me. The process is terrible. Ive had to reapply three times now.
What was total cost of this project?

New London and Norwich have some rough spots and taxes are pretty high. But the deals are there. Just with a low grade tenant base for the most part. Sucks cause they both could be beautiful towns. I like Stonington-Westerly RI area. down side is the age of the homes.
I'm definitely interested in Bridgeport area.
