[quote=WaitingToExhale]What would the ballpark cost for a total remodel for a 1970’s 2000 sqft house be? How much time would it take? I understand that these are rather general questions, but I’m just trying to get a general idea of how much of a “discount” would be appropriate if a place needed a total remodel.

This is a very general question. What are you remodeling? Kitchen/bath/bedroom/living area/flooring/etc? If you specifically want only the cost of a kitchen remodel, then it really depends on the size of the kitchen, not the house. Once you figure that out, the price are still all over the map, depending on how much you want to spend. You can spend as little as $5k to do updating and as much as, if not more than, $100k if you go w/ all exotic materials. A complete gut and redo of a kitchen from floor to ceiling and above average materials will probably run you at least $30k.
