Rehabbing old St. Louis City fire damaged brick house
Hi! I'm going to get an old St. Louis City brick house under contract this week. The only problem with it is that the kitchen had a grease fire. There was no structural damage. The entire house smells like smoke, and there is a layer of smoke on the surface of everything in the kitchen and rooms adjacent to the kitchen.
I am hoping I can prime paint the walls, replace the floors, and rehab the kitchen. Purchase price is 11k. Rehab cost is around 10k. Rent is 950/month. What surprises might I encounter?
