What is a gut rehab?
The listing says it is a gut rehab, what does that mean? Do I have to gut it? Just want to know what it means.

Can I get a refund after purchase for work done?
WE bought a house and had it inspected, there were a few things but we didn't nit pick. We moved in a few months ago and started having work done. Turns out a light that we thought was just a burned out bulb was a whole electrical system completely messed up. They had open wires in the walls and things that were very not safe or up to code. They didn't tell us any of this and we didn't find it because we would have had to open walls to see. Can we go back and demand the seller pay for it? It's ridiculous!

Does a swimming pool add value to a house?
We'd really like to get an in-ground pool, ideally with an outdoor kitchen too. We live in Wisconsin, so we could only get use out of it for part of the year. Does the pool add value to our home? Or do people see it as something else to care for and that would turn them away from the house?

How much should I spend on a kitchen remodel?
We're planning to remodel our kitchen. We want it to be beautiful, of course, but we don't want to go so crazy with the upgrades that we never recoup our money. Is there a recommend amount to spend on a kitchen remodel? Or a percentage?
