If you are buying, be wary of buying a flipped home
Always use a reputable, licensed contractor and pull all necessary permits
Who is remodeling now? Those that:

2) stayed put through the down turn
3) deferred maintenance due to down turn
So, for those that are remodeling, which is more valuable – a kitchen or a bathroom model?
Don’t count on doing a remodel to raise the value of your home. You will get the biggest return by doing the work you want done.
