About a month later I picked up my second single family home in london. This one is a very large 3 bedroom brick bungalow on a quiet tree lined street. Has a massive backyard. All I did was paint and change some electrical fixtures. Basement was finished with a bathroom, bedroom and big rec room with fireplace and bar and has 7 ft ceilings. House passed all inspections on the first try and is registered as a legal rental now.
