The previous owner must have not known how to spackle, because every sheetrock seam in the building was covered with a 1x1 inch piece of pine and painted.  

We rented our 13 year old cabin to a tenant who put nail holes in the pine hardwood floors and also around wooden door frames and wooden baseboards.  

Last year I had to make the decision on deck boards for our 20x24 deck and ended going cedar - it's a personal preference thing plus it was $3k cheaper than a good composite (not big box composite products).Also, if installing the pressure treated pine deck boards, give them a year to dry out before applying any sort of finish.  

It's set in a beautiful location with gorgeous tall pines.

Pine Hills area may have a few, but not the nicest area, but the rental market here is very strong, so your return would be good too.

It's essentially Pine St. and Woodland Hills Rd.  

So, I decided that I liked it enough to put some money in the deal as well.Some of the repairs we made:Ripped out nasty carpet and installed new laminateRipped out sheet vinyl and installed new ceramic tileNew toilets and hardware in bathroomsInstalled new privacy fence where neededPainted entire interiorReplaced all baseboardsCleaned up flower beds and put pine straw inCut  down tree in back yard that was damaging the old fenceHad house and all concrete soft washedAdded CO monitorsLots and lots of cleaning...  

I'm probably going to stay away from Pine Hills but will look at the Metrowest and Millenia area.

I do not go to Portland without getting a dozen donuts from Tonalli's and some blueberry cornmeal cakes at Pine State, but I digress...No one here can tell you if that is a good deal or not- you have to decide what buying criteria work for your personal situation and act on that.

We are looking for our next deal in the Pine Bluff, AR area.
