130k renovation for a 90k house. Might wanna take those 130k in consideration for the monthly cost.

They meant 40k renovation not 130. 90+40=130 plus no way a roof and carpet cost more than the house

That makes more sense.

Idk if 130k makes sense for roofs+carpet. Prices are wildly different in USA vs Europe. Just saw the difference between "130k" and "90k".
