It would add some visual interest and make your duplex stand out.  

Hi @Joel Ness, I'm not down in TX, but wanted to welcome you!

Mt Vernon Square, Petworth, Columbia Heights, a Cleveland Park, Van Ness, Capitol Hill, Shaw, are a few neighborhoods to check out.Newer luxury condos have been very hot the last year or two while older buildings have been more stable.

I understand there are different methods to determine the repair cost such as the 70% rule or multiplying the total square footage by $18-$30, depending on the property, (if there are other methods, please let me know) but I want to learn how to visually look at a property and see the underlying value.I live in the DMV area so if anyone is aware of any meetups or would not mind me tagging along with them as they walk through a property, I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks Everyone and Happy New Years... 

That would be the same terms as a foreclosure auction; basically a drive-by visual and buyer beware.

I understand the basics from wholesaling, buy and flip, buy and hold, and etc.......The problem is I don't feel comfortable jumping in alone as I am a visual learning and would really benefit from having someone to help me throughout the process.

Providing visual aids, photos of other properties could help in communiting your design ideas.Ideally you also want to discuss and define every little detail of the project for every area of the house/apartment, positioning of every light and plumbing fixture, placement and dimensions for areas that need backsplace tile, pocket door installs, reframing and expanding certain areas to increase spaces for showers, living rooms, closets, new shelving to be built, opening up ceilings, re-routing plumbing, repositioning toilets, etc.Then you hope that your ongoing communications will work well.

I'm just trying to relay what type of value this home came in at and that the buyers requested a black ceiling.Thanks for the pics to help visualize it.

Rodents are usually disclaimed by inspectors because inspections are considered non invasive, visual inspection.

I am at that point in the webinars where I feel like I am ready to jump off that cliff @Brandon Turner, but standing at the edge and looking at how far I can fall. 6 webinars behind me, number 7 tonight, and countless sleepless nights reading, searching, and visualizing the first steps.
