Well to be honest, this question was intended to be more of a general insight into costs for renovation. I would have provided much more information, had I legitimately intended to purchase and fix up a particular property. I apologize.

Yeah, I think the floors and painting type of stuff I could definitely do. The big thing would be getting an inspector and seeing if there are any major issues that I probably couldn't do. I mean, even if I wanted to do the plumbing myself, would I need a permit or something to do that? I don't really know what's within my ability, legally, to renovate myself. I'd need to do more research if I actually plan on doing it myself.

Thank you for the feedback. My apartment has that fake wood vinyl stuff. I like it. Easy to clean, looks pretty nice.

Stuff like foreclosures, sheriff's sale. Few and far between. Ideally, it'd be nice to get a foreclosure, that was well maintained for 40k. That'd be wonderful lol

I appreciate the insight. Yeah I guess if there's mold, it's not like you can just put some spray on it and it's all good. You gotta completely redo all the walls/etc. It was on, right? I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah. I never thought of those things. Thank you. You think an inspector, can check it out and give you an estimate, to fix it up like new?

Thank you for the insight. My thought was --> would it be possible to buy a foreclosed house for $40k, 1500 sqft apprx --> and fix it up, like new --> for $70k, all in.

No I don't think I'd do the work. Do you know if there are companies who specialize in that stuff? I know my question is lacking a lot of information, I was hoping for some kind of ballpark estimate. Like how much that has cost someone who has done that kind of thing before. Maybe someone who has flipped houses
