One downside I experienced there was that the contractors guys kept failing inspection and even closed up the walls not knowing the electric failed.

If the it's on the walls, they'll make them remove the mold and patch the walls.If the owners refuse to do the environmental clean up, the underwriters won't approve it.

Let's say that you've decided to invest LOCALLY, in a place like the Burgh, as I do.What does your wall look like?

Hi Team,We just purchased an investment property and we need a 1 car garage, back yard wooden fence and drywall with walls (from the basement) demolished.

I would have skipped the rock wall, water feature, combo W/D and trimmed the counter on the peninsula.  

Additionally, with office it’s possible tenant improvements are necessary for every tenant, which means moving around walls, new carpet and paint, etc.

Then we will have to go with the Gas forced unit with the trunking or you could have 2 window unitsBid for remodelingDemo upstairs kitchen and tub and bathroomremove all debris from in the crawl spacekitchen down stairsremove tub shower down stairsremove old wall furnaceremove old carpethaul away all trashWindows and doorsall windows need replaced 14 total, the upstairs windows need to be special glass because of the coding from the building depart for height restrictionsFront door need replacedAll interior doors need replacesUpstairsWalls will need to be removed and replaced to convert to a 4-5 bedroom homeAll new interior doors need replacedPlumbing removed there will be no bathroom upstairsBathroomA brand-new bathroom will be installed with a tub shower, vanity, toilet,an faucets.

Neighbor sharing the wall did a remodel of bathroom and kitchen (both along the wall) without the HOA knowledge/approval.

So I would replace plumbing and electrical while I have the walls open if I plan to hold long term (which is what I do).

You will need a primer, and 2 top coats at $1 per sf (each coating) of wall (No thank you!)
