Foundation issues are expensive and constant but the other shit ain't bad. As a home owner you have much less strict guidelines on asbestos work than a contractor hence you can do it cheaper. Housing electrical is really simple just time consuming to run wire and pluming has been simplified a lot with crimp on pex plastic lines. I've never done plumbing drainage that seems a bit more tricky but on most houses you already have that setup unless you need a drastic layout change. Point being that you can do a lot more than you give yourself credit for and a lot of the items you listed could net you a heavy discount. That being said, in your price range the cost of materials would be a huge % of cost
Yeah. That's part of the problem I'm working with. I'm figuring, if the cost of fixing up a house that's on the level of "meh" and making it somewhat decent pretty much costs the same as a decent house, finding a decent house at a good deal seems to be a better way to go. Less hassle.That being said, in your price range the cost of materials would be a huge % of cost
