New flooring, new paint, new fixtures, updated kitchen and bathroom.

The owner REALLY wanted to sell because they were retiring, so I drove an aggressive bargain.2.5 years later a $15 million dollar redevelopment project straight across the street is starting to lease apartments and some 1st floor commercial spaces.

A good painter can Spray pretty good if he has the proper tip , good quality paint, and at least 100 jobs done prior to yours.So many factors involved,  are you protecting the flooring,  changing colors a lot lots of repairs done prior?

Hotels typically do this for cost savings, but they also may do this to prevent guests from setting temps that could impact others on a floor or adajacent room (my assumptions). 

Right now, I have a friend who is considering adding a half bath to his first floor by removing a closet w/o a permit and I am really trying to convince him not to. 

However city is imposing a good amount ofimpact fees based on the bedroom count - which accounts to close to $40 k , which i cannot afford- Ibought the house for myself to reside and cannot afford to pay this.We verified with city prior to buying and theyconfirmed it is residential zoned , however never mentioned about any impactfees.It is residential zone - MLS shows it as 3 bedroom 2baths - it had a extra unit  in the back and also a inbuilt rolling bed on 1st floor for the main I am stuck here- they are asking to prove it was usedas a residential -ever - any guidance would be appreciated on this.

I enjoy washing my car and truck and like the convivence of doing a quick vacuum on my floor mats.  

I saw so much potential in this property as the porch on the second floor overlooked the local park and it was in a secluded area.

I heard about a condo construction that was stopped by the government because they built more floors than approved.

Paint, new floors, drywall patching.
