@Jason Sinclair, having a designer for a wife, I would answer that it really depends heavily on each house, the flow and usability of the spaces as they are, and the overall use of space in the house as a whole.That being said, while there may be a small shift towards more separated spaces, "open concept" is by no means dead, and in many markets, most people seem to still want to have connectivity between their communal spaces.In fact, my wife's current flip is a split level (although technically it is a split-foyer), and she is taking out a structural wall to connect the kitchen, dining and living areas.  

Credit pulls for the same type of loan within a short window (usually 14-45 days) are treated as one inquiry, so your score should be fine.

Everyone seems to be in agreement that nothing can be heard between the nighttime time window.

I redid the cabinets, repainted and replaced all the windows.

Typical renovations include:Cosmetic Updates: Painting, flooring, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and landscaping.Structural Repairs: Fixing any underlying issues such as foundation repairs, plumbing, or electrical updates.Efficiency Improvements: Adding energy-efficient windows, new HVAC systems, and better insulation to increase the property's overall value.The goal of the rehab phase is to increase the property’s market value while making it an attractive place for tenants.

Outside of the police report, I would just ensure all window and doors lock or functional.

Seller says estimated cost of roof replacement is $34,500, mold and drywall remediation $8,700 and kitchen and baths are in original condition.

It would work as a 2nd br and 2nd bath for the upstairs unit, but does not currently have a kitchen.

It helps to make connections with your local flooring, tile, kitchen design studios depending on how high end you want to make your flip depending if it is in a HCOL neighborhood.

New kitchen and bathroom.
