The final kicker was, as they were leaving, the original guy mentioned that he really liked the fireplace mantel because his 70 inch TV would fit up there very nicely....no shower, no central air but a big screen TV.I thought I had discouraged them enough when I told them that each would have to pay the screening fee to check credit/criminal history but I'll be darned if they didn't call back four days later saying they had the applications (I had to provide them several) all filled out. 

Hi BPers.I'm currently looking at a fix/flip condo project on a unit that has a wood burning fireplace.

However, many of these older buildings were originally designed to be heated by coal stoves/fireplaces in each room, or {later} fitted with coal-fired steam boilers.  

Sits on nice size lot with 2 car garage & has fireplace.

- love the white brick and fireplace touch

Did they give you the unit keys or leave them behind in the unit, such as on the kitchen counter or on the fireplace mantle? 

I forgot to mention the chimneys/fireplaces are not operational and will only be kept for cosmetic purposes, and I don’t want to spend the money to completely remove them.  

There is actually not a fireplace but at the base of the chimney in the basement is a little door with ashes in it.

It's oftentimes the small details that get overlooked - light switches, lighting, trims, closet doors, and if applicable fireplace mantel...Also don't forget about picking a harmonious color palette!

He suggested repairing the fireplace bricks, redoing the bathroom floor, vanity, all doors.
