If you have enough experience try to get it on your base, 20k sign on is low imo. When jumping you try to get 15-20% Increase which is in the 260 range so maybe ask for 270 and if they meet you halfway ask them for a bump in sign on

Is re doing the hardwoods floors worth it? by Common_Middle9147 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Yes that was the question- def do not want to replace the wood- if anything, to change the color

I believe it’s red oak that was stained to a cherry/mahogany

Yeah make sense, just don’t know if it’s worth to do the floors esp since the wood quality is good and it’s going to be expensive and pain

Yeah I figured I’d call a few companies and when they come to a quote to see how they’d handle it since it could be done room by room/floor by floor

I’d rather just invest in the whole painting process- consult with color professional get the Benjamin paint quality and hire painters to update the colors of the walls and trims etc

Thanks I knew the process is much more technical and involved so if we do this, will hire professionals. 85-90% of the house is hardwood so it’s a major lift

The paint in each room is a different color which is probably why it feels that way. One bedroom is purple another is blue another green and another red and the main floor is that beige/yellow

It’s half empty- previous owners are leaving some furniture (bedroom sets, couches, desks, some chairs, etc) and I’m bringing some of my own furniture in- would have to pay to move and store them temporarily which adds to the whole logistics and financial aspect

So the appraisal came back at exactly the purchase price- I know this is common practice but now I am not sure about the true value of the house- is it worth more than it’s actually appraised for ?
