[quote=Anonymous][quote=pso]PP, your assessment is correct, I have no idea what I'm doing - first time renovator and first time house owner here learning the ropes.  Same with understanding how far my budget will go, which I'm quickly learning I have underestimated.  I wanted to keep it in the range of 150k, but I'm thinking it will surpass 200k easy.  It's ~900 sf house, so pretty small, but the dollars still add up quickly.

If we pivoted to a more bare essentials renovation, i.e., don't move the stairs and keep the general layout the same, just update it all, I'm thinking maybe a designer would be fine -- and cheaper, I think?[/quote]

If you just want to update the kitchens and bathrooms without moving anything, you could maybe get in around $200k depending on the specifics and what you uncover about the important stuff like plumbing, electrical, and roof.

What you originally described is more like a $1m gut renovation and you could easily spend more than that. And less, probably, but I kind of doubt it because of the thing about moving the stairs. [/quote]
