Concrete block construction house

[Simon Stahl]

Hi there

I am looking at this house in Sacramento that could make a good flip candidate. I would have to add a master bedroom to the house though. The one thing that makes me a bit nervous is that the outer walls are built of concrete blocks and that does not seem to be very common around here. 

A few questions come up:

• Do buyers in this area (Sacramento, CA) like concrete block houses?
• Can everything be done as usual with this kind of walls? Electricity etc?
• Can I overlay them with sheetrock in the inside? Is that something you would do?
• We would have to knock out a wall for the addition. Is it a problem to mix concrete block walls with "normal" walls in the addition?
• Any general advice about the concrete block walls? Total no-go? Is it actually a good thing?

Mostly I would just like to hear from other investors if they thinks this kind of walls could be a problem or not.
