Thanks everyone!!!

J, where do you get your appliances?

So you walk into a house, know you want to completely redo the kitchen. What ballpark price do you assume for flooring, cabs, countertops, appliances... the whole deal?

Let me clarify. This is to remove old boiler, radiators, install duct work, and install a furnace and ac unit.

He works for/gets his product from the HVAC company he works for. He would be doing the job in his personal time and would want to be paid under the table essentially.

Is this a risk for me, if so how/why?

Thanks guys, appreciate all the help!

J Scott: care to post your feedback here as well?

So I'm evaluating a property that has steam heat/window ac units. All the comps have forced air. All bids I have gotten are 10-15k, but I have a contact who is licensed and insured who could do it for maybe 50% of that price. Problem is it would have to be "under the table". What are your experiences with situations like this? What risks am I possibly assuming by not getting an I-9, etc etc.

Set me straight BP, thank you in advance!

Just curious what you all thought of steam heat in a house. Does if detract from the final sales price? A house I am considering has the large, bulky radiators in each room, and wanted the masses opinion.

Also, it doesn't have central air, my thought is adding central air is a must for a flip. But if I am adding C/A (correct me if I am wrong), shouldn't I add heat as well and just get rid of the radiators?

This is my dilemma. Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Any experience would be appreciated. Prices, whats involved, etc. Thanks everybody!

I have no rehab experience. Want to put an offer on a property following the 70%-repair=Mao, but how do I get an accurate rehab estimate BEFORE making an offer with 0 rehab experience? Thanks everyone!

great suggestions everyone, please keep them coming!!!

I about to put my first offer in on a house I intend to fix and flip. Couple of questions for the pros. First, it's listed at 83 and I need to obtain it in the 75-76 area. What would you reccomend as my initial offer? (it's an REO), also how much time would you reccomend to ask for a Financing and or Inspection contingency?

Secondly, provided I obtain the property.... It's in pretty good condition, but it's a brick house and the brick is a bland, boring tan color all the way around..... Any suggestions to give the house more curb appeal? (pic below) Thanks everybody!
