This was another 3 bedroom sfh. It was a dump. I got people to move in the first week I had the house. And painted, tiled and built a laundry room as they were moving in. I then gutted and spent the next 3 months building a legal 2 bedroom basement apt. I quit my day job to do this house. Once I finished I refinanced at 625$ and got all my money back. I rent the 2 apts for 2700$ plus util.

My plumber was a flake and failed his inspections and then never showed up after. So I found a much better plumber that I used to this day.
