If you walk into a bathroom and see peeling paint on the ceiling, you know that room was not ventilated while showers were taken.Wire exhaust fans to the same switch as the light so that the fan has to be turned on.

If the home is 100 yrs old, I'm assuming it's a definite gut which is going to require new plumbing, electrical, heating, cosmetics.I spent about $140K reno on my multi family in the heights on NY ave and there were massive problems with it but it was a gut to 3 units & adding 2 bathrooms, 3 brand new kitchens 4 bathroom reno in total, all new flooring, sheetrock , insulation, framing, doors, electrical, plumbing, paint, parts of roof etc.

We fixed everything in the first 3-5 weeks, plus paint, carpet, landscaping, then rented it out.

I want to refurbish the entire house, including a complete kitchen and baths renovation, add an addition on the east side, new roof and siding, new flooring everywhere, paint inside and out"Then ask the GC to go over and put this into a more formal document.

Our LTR lease is nearly 18 pages long, not including the additional riders for mold, radon, lead based paint, etc.

Better hope paint,carpet,advertising, commissions, and utilities don’t cost $600 or you blew your cash flow, it’s zero.
