Found a Gazebo in the brush!! To keep or not??
Hey BP,
I found Gazebo on a house I'm hoping to flip, but maybe rent. It's in rough shape, but might be able to be fixed up.
Any thoughts or similar experience out there that could weigh in on whether to plow it or clean it up and keep it?
Thank you for your time!
Cheers,
-Sam

Pictures?
Is it actually fixed to the house?
In MY market I focus on making my rentals as easy as possible to maintain. Especially when I have to stain multiple decks. (I just removed a pool because the cost upfront was cheaper then maintaining it for years on end, less hassle, less liability)
My questions always come down to this question when dealing with investments, will it bring you more money?
Now once you've answered that, is that extra money worth the cost of maintenance?
Better resale if you decide to part with the property in the near future?
