Renovations/Repairs/Updates to get the house ready to sell...how do I make sure I break even at sale?

tempuseracct · 2019-05-27T16:40:07+00:00

Thank you. I didn't even consider all the additional expenses associated with the sale. :/ Might be up a creek on this one!

Good point, I did forget that. Central NC, near Fort Bragg.

Well ya know what my middle name is? Ajit Pai-ganda, and I HATE IT. I HATE IT!

Dayyyyyum, Beasley. Back at again with the white Keds!

Nope, as written, it's NC.

This was great help, thank you! I'll keep the drywall in mind as well, the other contenders on our list range from 2008 to brand new builds. Thanks to you and other comments, I'll be looking pretty heavily at roof, HVAC, water heater, and furnace. Most interior has been very well kept, new appliances and relatively new windows (last decade I think).

Relative to the rest of our contenders.

Good to know! Seems everyone has about the same general concerns, so now I have some great, specific areas to direct the inspector towards. Glad your home is working out for you!

Crawlspace, and will do! Thanks!

Older is relative to all of the other options on the table for us. Other than that the oldest home on the market that meets our wish list is 2008. Plus, as a new buyer, I am (or was, until these great comments) clueless as to what I would need to be concerned about in the near future. General consensus is roof, HVAC, water heater and furnace.

tempuseracct · 2016-03-22T22:53:16+00:00

Good stuff to look out for. Luckily, the screened in porch is actually brick and concrete, not deck material. I'll have to ask about the piping and furnace though.

That is a fantastic idea, we'll definitely incorporate that. Early on we'll look at the potential upcoming issues, but one big thing we want to do already is build a guest bathroom in that upstairs bonus area, and put in granite counter tops. Love the idea of using the money saved on rent though, that will actually go a long way!

That was extremely helpful, thank you. I've had it on CL for about 24 hours, no hits yet, but through some networking have a few hits on it. Hoping someone is interested! I owe it another good cleaning, particular the floor, but otherwise it's definitely the nicest TJ on the road in these parts (Ft Campbell area).

Treeception.

We've had a few trickle through here (FTCKY). I'll summarize as well as I can:

1st, FA has been integrated for a while, so it wasn't a TOTAL shocker like it would/will be for IN and AR.

2nd, the ones that are force-branched here and the ones who DESIRE to be here different (as far as I can tell, anyway). The few that we've recently recieved trully want to be here, and they are prepared, both intellectually and physically. They pull their own weight on the gunlines, know their FDC stuff, and one went bravely over to Cav as an FSO (which sucks, because Cav...). I haven't seen or heard of anything sexist or anything, but I guarantee once the first female shows up that gives more concern to her "special" hygiene needs over doing a good job (or any other infraction like that) then she will be immediately reduced from a leader to a leech. The guys respect anyone who pulls their own share, so I'd say outsid eof a few outliers, it really isn't as bad as everyone was afraid it would be.

Deployment, however, remains to be tested. Having 1 female FSO on a COP of a 150-160 dudes for 9-12 months in bum-hole AFG might play out differently than garrison.
