        "text": "Renovation costs for foreclosed properties can range widely due to varying conditions. Minor cosmetic updates might cost $10,000 - $30,000, while properties requiring major structural work, new HVAC, plumbing, or electrical systems could incur costs upwards of $75,000 - $150,000+. Key cost drivers include the extent of damage, quality of materials, and labor rates in the Bay Area. Obtaining detailed bids from experienced contractors is essential for an accurate budget.",
