To give you some examples, what I thought would be minor aesthetic repairs to the ceiling turned out to be structural issues, just about every pipe in the crawlspace burst when I turned the water back on due to the house being vacant for so long without any winterization measures taken and many issues with electrical outlets due to the previous homeowner nearly rigging the entire electrical system with duct tape.

My understanding was that it's not so much the paint but the many friction points in old windows, so that even if there's not much paint, the simple fact that there is lead dust inside the windows (where the old weights and pulleys are) means that the up-and-down friction causes the lead dust to get released - and this is regardless of how the trim is painted.The only time it wouldn't make sense to just go vinyl with the windows, in my mind, is if there is some major aesthetic reason not to, or it's a historic house and you can't because of historic property rules (which, of course, add a lot to renovation costs besides just keeping old windows).And yes I really like our local REIA because it doesn't try to sell you things.

My question is, does it pay off to dump a little bit of money on aesthetics such as laminate floors instead of carpet, new cabinets instead of the original working ones from 1969, SS appliances, closet doors?

Hello BP,I am removing an ugly chain link fence in front of my duplex in North Park and will now need to consider what type of fence to install in its place.Does anyone have any contractors they would recommend to install a small aesthetically pleasing concrete/stucco (other suggestions?)

The person you discounted because they didn't aesthetically match your idea of a good tenant could have been the best tenant you could have ever asked for.

It looks very nice and clean from an aesthetic standpoint, but the fact that the Cemesto material is on the interior in this way causes me to be more concerned - would you agree?

With minor aesthetic updates, I know each unit could rent for $1000- $I200 per month (*without seeing the units yet*).

I estimate about 10k in repairs, mostly aesthetic.

But as far as aesthetics go, I would absolutely remove that wall.
