That said My sister did a very nice job with transformations that they sell at HD that was on oak for a special  pickled effect.

Highland Park, Barton Heights, and Battery Park are residential neighborhoods that are quickly bettering themselves divided by a commercial corridor (Brookland Park Boulevard) that is not transforming as quickly as the residential areas.

Garage has been transformed into another bedroom so technically it's a 4 bedroom.

and then try to envision yourself (or company) with a product you develop or transform (e.g. a new redeveloped house.. or block... or subdivision) in a year or (better) in three years.

I'm interested in flipping mainly because  I am obsessed with transforming spaces, crunching numbers and researching deals and eventually make my way into rentals/MF. 

@Harold Robinson Very nice transformation. 

Get one of those rustoleum cabinet transformation kits; cost is $70.

Other neighborhoods in the City have transformed in similar ways and it seems like there is a trend whereby a few years after a neighborhood starts to become safe and desirable, the City will drastically increase the property assessments.

Our economic reality is that the majority of Americans have no savings and only put aside a very small fraction of their paycheck in the belief that nothing really bad could possibly happen to them, that stability is an integral part of the society they live in.My own life experience has been that things can change drastically very, very quickly.A large part of that has been watching economic developments in the country of my birth, Greece, where I lived for seven years from 2000-2007 as an adult and got my start in residential renovation, From 2008 to the present day, I have watched the country transform into a begging pauper-state wholly in thrall to its financial overlords.

It would have been cheaper for us to put up a big modern box in the lot, however, we want to keep the integrity of the neighborhood, and transform a house from a safety hazard to a bright spot in the neighborhood.
