Good to hear.  The debate of rolling things into a mortgage is always a good discussion.  Me, personally, it's a question of convenience, cash on hand and interest rates.  With mortgage rates so low, it's compelling to want to spend 30-35k to have the builder do the basement.  It will probably cost you close to that amount if you use a contractor after move in anyhow, so why not do that?  For floors, same deal.  Design center should get you decent deals or you can try to source your stuff elsewhere.  I can see both those as making sense to do before move in because those things are always a PITA to do after you've moved in.

The only thing I can think of that might be worthwhile in doing after you move in is any sort of outdoor living space.

Anyhow, JMO.[/quote]

Yeah, I agree--we were able to find better deals on flooring and the basement (as well as more options we liked) than the design center offered, which is why we so just had the contractor come in after closing but before we moved in to complete. Definitely with the floors, would go with the builder's options if I couldn't afford to do it right after closing. Did the outside in stages. [/quote]

Makes sense.  Flooring + basement is a large cash outlay especially after buying a 1M house. lol[/quote]
