        "text": "The cost to rehab a foreclosed home depends largely on the duration of vacancy and the extent of deferred maintenance or vandalism. Properties needing basic cosmetic updates—such as drywall patching, fresh interior paint, and new trim—cost significantly less than homes requiring full kitchen gutting, bathroom rebuilds, or subfloor replacement. Unbudgeted expenses frequently surface once walls are opened or utilities are reconnected, particularly regarding missing copper pipes or outdated wiring. To manage financial risk, set aside a contingency fund of at least fifteen to twenty percent beyond your initial estimate to cover hidden structural or utility repairs.",
