I know that you can not give good estimates without seeing home but for all you rehabbers what do you think it would cost to make these repairs? 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, 25K? I do not plan to do any of the actual work myself.
This house is in a working class neighborhood not in an area where they need fancy high cost upgrades. I just want to make the house presentable and sellable.
