Construction financing carries the highest risks, rehabbing or new construction.The only way to limit the construction phase losses are to work with contractors that have a history of getting jobs done, on time and on budget!

lolyou are so damn lucky. the last thing a contractor wants to do is come home to do more of the same work he just did for 10 hrs.also, normally a house in a bad condition attracts bad tenants. hell, i have a fantastic house right now and no applications. yet, it attracts people with a budget of $650 per month.when you have finished the house half ***, you attract half *** tenants. when you get those tenants, they dont care for the house thinking you did not care for it in the first place.i understand that you had no money, so that worked out ok for u. again... my post can be summed up in one word.... lucky.

This house is a rehab, buy, fix, and sell immediately so I'm working on my budget and getting my final written estimates.

My reno budget would also be my own cash.

Probably want to budget for a new one, if its really bad.

My wife and I will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary this year.

BTW, my A/C technician told me last year that I should start to budget for a new A/C unit for he's not sure when it will go out.

Tell them your budget for the plumbing/electrical is XX$ and see if there is anyway to meet that.

., and then choose cabinets, countertops, and flooring based on what remains in the budget.
