@Andrew Briggs, You can hook up a dishwasher without a garbage disposal (hookup to drain).

@KC ContiThat is one of the big mistakes new investors haveIf i put in a $100k  tub in a house. it DOES NOT bring up the value of the house by $100kA house is only work what it can sell for.When i was new I made the following mistakeThe area i was looking to buy a house had average comps of $100 per SFMost houses are 1000 SFWhich makes the average house worth $150kThe house I was looking at was the largest on the block at 2500 SFThe asking price was $137kI was like wow. 

She told me about 2 weeks ago that she is listing a home 1 block away from it, 3 bed 2 bath 1600 sq ft  with 6500 sq ft lot.  

Especially in philly or any Other densly populated area that changes from lofts to ghetto just by crossing one road, zoomIng out behond anything on that block Is pointless.

We've been in the house 6 years, and we've done a good amount of remodeling- drain tile in backyard, fenced in backyard, new high efficiency furnace, remodeled bathroom and kitchen.

This loft area blocked light from dining room below.

There is a house for sale or rent sign on just about every block. 

Some leaky faucets , slow drains , a broken window , a broken screen door, missing damaged facia , Eve's and saufet .wood decay around front door , a ceiling fan that doesn't work , ac with water filling drain pan , crack in garage ceiling , 1 cracked floor tile, 1 double tapped breaker , and a missing attic inspection cover .

.- They are an enormous drain on your personal time even if you have a GC.- They often end up with you running over your original budget and in most cases they take longer than you planned...

Odor-Xit, then an odor-blocking primer, then flooring over it.
