I have never felt comfortable with that level of risk, though I have all the respect in the world for people who do it.To me construction is always about fighting: for financing, for time, for inches of space, for quality workmanship and for the best materials at the price you can pay.

You cannot enhance, upgrade or improve the property and expect to be able to recover those costs if it is redeemed.The issue comes from what meets the definition of secure, preserve and maintain. 

Two years later a dormant spring (pay attention to street names) popped up and moved one of the three houses a full 3 inch tilt! 

I like to go with 28-29 inch fridges they are significantly cheaper than the standard 32-36 inch fridge.

Some sellers may not want or be able to (due to moving, buying another property, etc.) wait that long.An FHA inspection is notorious for being stricter about the condition of the home than conventional. when I sold my primary home to an FHA buyer a few years ago, I had to fix a small section of rotting wood in the frame of the garage door at a cost of several hundred dollars- because you can't just fix a few inches, you have to replace the whole side!

There are other ways to enhance this as well.Someone said once and it stuck with me, "in my market I have no competition".

In many cases this means replacing subfloor to 3/4 inch plywood and level (additional labor and material cost).

Its posts like this that are inching me closer to buying a place soon!
