I thought about maybe converting the living room with a fireplace on the main floor to a 3rd bedroom, but I'm not sure if the HOA would allow such a big change to the layout.

Hi there--My aunt is an interior designer in Texas. During a recent conversation, the following question came up:------------------------------------------------------------------------"The question is:You buy a 'new ...

I’ve updated some plumbing, new fixtures in all kitchens, about 60% of lighting fixtures, replaced windows on 2 floors, added new appliances on two floors, painted entirety of house last year.

Sale price: $175,000 Key Features & Upgrades-New roof, fresh interior & exterior paint-Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring throughout-New doors with updated locksets-Rekeyed locks & updated hardware-New kitchen cabinets & quartz countertops-Updated bathrooms with tiled tub surrounds, new vanities & toilets-New light fixtures & mini blinds-Full HVAC replacement (686) & condenser/A-coil (688)-New water heaters, plumbing updates & landscaping

Major items include converting an office space to a full bath and walk in closet, existing bathroom renovation, new deck, add a new driveway and car port, kitchen renovation, new flooring, new windows and doors, paint, replace siding, replace roof and add some curb appeal.

The main house(first and second floor) is in reasonably good shape for a home of this era - most of the original woodwork, flooring and tiling looks good.

SO MANY Interior Updates Include NEW LVP Flooring & Carpet Throughout, NEW Lighting & All NEW Interior Doors!

We just offered on a house with all contingencies waived and after the depositing the initial deposit we realize they are counting 300 sqft of completely unfinished room with no ceiling hvac huge  unit in it and with all sorts of pipes taking floor space and ceiling space as a room of 300 sq ft.This is misrepresentation as it makes the house so much smaller in the basement and we are already paying above asking by 50K.

They were home and were able to manage the situation, so the water didn't make it's way to the floor, which I'm grateful for.

Up next: floors, cabinets, and all the finishing touches.
