This was my first foray into home ownership. We acquired this foreclosed condo unit for $99,500 in 2013. Before moving in, we spent about $15,000 in rehab which included laminate flooring, tile flooring in the kitchen and bathroom, new cabinets and appliances, new doors, and paint.
I lived here until 2019. Before going to market, I spent another $10,000 in rehab including: removal of acoustic ceiling, updated laminate flooring to a more current style, and a fresh coat of Swiss coffee over everything.
We were able to ask $289,000 and received a full cash offer on the day of our first open house.
Moving forward, I will avoid condos and stick to SFH and townhomes.
