From the picture with the black tar on the wall, I knew this was going to be a challenge.

He put in a hot water heater, painted the upstairs walls white, put black shutters on the house, painted the deck grey, and painted the front door red.

Everything Ken said plus plaster walls, no insulation, higher electric bills, walls sweating when its humid in florida and the resident leaves front door open, damp smelly houses, Pealing paint, wood rot, old windows, crawl space under the home, bdrm and closet doors that don't close properly, electric locks that the old front door doesn't like as the door is not aligned correctly, Cyrstal knobs that fall off, old thermostats with 2 lines but my new thermostat needs 3 lines, critters in the fireplace....

The house will need new interior everything - plumbing, electrical, kitchen, bathroom, walls, etc. 

My spouse doesn’t love having a tenant and sharing walls with someone but can see the benefits.

Damage to the unit like a doorknob hole in the wall?

Just use archive.ph for any pay wall articles.

**Basement Water Damage:** The walls in the basement are wet up to 15 inches, and it appears that water is seeping in from the ground.3.

Really inexpensive to do (usually), especially in truss framed houses that have no bearing walls...takes about 30 minutes to tear down the partition wall and voila, there you have a huge open space.

No new year resolution this time, but I will have a todo list instead. 2023 was not how I wanted it to be, now that my back is kind of back against the wall (money running low) I hope I can finally get myself into the action mode this year.Thank you for tuning into my blog!
