How much to renovate our house?

renovate house

We’re looking to buy a house but it needs a lot of work. I’m trying to get a ballpark figure of how much it’ll cost us.

The house is 1300sq ft, needs new flooring (wood laminate), a new kitchen with cabinets, counters, appliances, 2 new bathrooms including all fixtures except the toilets, new paint including ceiling and doors for closets.

It’s $235K, market for a house in that neigborhood, same style is $265-280.

Should we buy?
It also needs new shrubs and lanscaping and the outside trim needs painting.

I am a dedicated loving CPS worker with a disabled brother that I take care of and a bright straight A student son. Who knows how I can get to my house about 800/mo on the NW side of town. OKAY READY…SET…GO!! I do not know all of the grants and programs myself but I am researching. Thanks God Bless!! I’ll take care of the elderly, I will renovate houses, I will raise smart children, I will be a personal assistant. I just want to still maintain my CPS job because I love it. Help.

Sell and Rent Back

Get a Real Estate Agent or try to sell condo myself?

sell property fast

I purchased my 1bdrm condo in Atlanta less than two years ago and feel I will be lucky to sell it now at my purchase price. We must move in August. I don’t want to loose money, and I fear I might once agent commission gets factored in. Also, in theory, selling w/o an agent would allow me to drop the price to move the property faster. Is it feasible that I could sell my condo myself in less than 8 months, given the current market? Or, since I must sell by August, is it wiser to get an agent’s help Now? What exactly will an agent do for me that I could not do myself?

Quick House Sale Changes the Course of Cash Flow to your Favour


The world today is dynamic where money is always flowing and floating in the market. Every individual who participates in this constant transaction of cash sustains a certain equilibrium of cash inflow and outflow. But then, it may just happen at one time that there is a negative flow of balance, as when your expenditures are more than your income, that you find that money is emptying from your reserves. This means that this flow of money has taken a course unfavorable to you, and you are left dry in your banks.

So what do you do to overcome this shortage of cash? You can fall back on the ever-reliable property of yours. The equity you have stored in there can be converted into cash so that you are up and running again. With quick house sale, you are able to deal smoothly with an emergent situation. The fixed assets become liquid cash so that it flows and clears your troubles out of the way. With the rent back scheme, you can even keep staying in the house, going on with your normal life, instead of the trouble and the shame of having to move out.

Quick house sale is an option worth considering when you are faced with difficult situations such as repossession. It is also a very feasible thing when you are faced with divorce proceedings and the huge expenditure that goes along with it. Quick sale also helps you to separate in a judicious manner.

Also in a situation where one has inherited a house and is finding it difficult to manage it, many people wisely opt for a quick house sale. The house gets a manager who would furnish it out, and you may rent back this property if you want a joy of residing in your inherited property. This scheme comes in handy thus on different occasions.

They have planned to place new electrics, heating system, kitchen and bathroom. I was given a pack for a 21day notice, but was only given 3 days. I had to pack everything away and give access to all electric and water piping. They will be removing my fire and leaving me with a radiator instead. My wooden flooring goes around the hearth, and i know that after the work is done there will be a gap where hearth used to be. I was advised that i will be without electric for other a day and a half. I have two small children and will have to stay with a realtives, do i have any rights at all whilst this takes place. After all, i was told there will be a lot of dust, and i would need to cover my stuff up to avoid dust damage. Everythings going to get wrecked.
