Rehab Addict
Like many others, I was originally drawn to the thought of REI after watching too much HGTV, specifically Nicole Curtis' show Rehab Addict. This question is for the seasoned flippers out there...is there any place in the the rehab world for restoring old homes and bringing the charm back in addition to adding modern updates? Would this be profitable as opposed to doing the "typical" rehab or is this wishful thinking on my part?What are your thoughts on this?

Every episode goes like this.
