I bought (CASH) a mixed use 3 apartments with a large warehouse with a fenced/gated cement covered yard.I then sold it CFD to a fellow investor/contractor who had his guys in several apartments & equipment stored in 3 different locations.

I have not lived in the property but it has been occupied for the last 5 yrs by the same tenant.I am waiting on a detailed quote on the water issues so I can better understand that.Unfortunately there are no warranties and I don't believe I have recourse with the builder.The dishwasher could be sold as is, but I had figured it would be worth the $200 to get a fully functional unit.As for the drywall repairs, it looked as though there was a dry wall repair that was done poorly and needed to be redone in order to blend back in with the rest of the wall.The toilet seems to have come loose and is apparently evidencing some type of erosion on the floor where the base goes into the cement under the flooring.Realistically my target buyer is an investor who will continue to rent it out.

I may just do cement if I need to if I sell.Account Closed Thanks for reminding me to look into zoning. 

Covered asbestos shingles - often times, it is acceptable to install new vinyl siding over old asbestos cement siding.

For example,  I had a bathroom redone, I also had our front iron railing fixed (new feet welded in, cleaned and painted) and resurfaced the cement steps, and some landscaping.  

Close off that breezeway with windows/sliding doors and make it another room... assuming there's a cement floor.

I know people who have done this only to find that the pissed-off homeowners (at the bank) last horrah was to destroy the house including pouring cement down drains, stealing stives, cutting up the trusses/joists with a power saw, stealing the copper from the electrical, dumping horse crap in the house, etc.

If I have cement on the sides of the building, what do you recommend putting there to fill in the negative grading and make it positive? 

But I did all new appliances, granite countertops everywhere, stained cement flooring, new doors, electrical box, recessed lighting, big backyard shed, gutters, paver patio etc...you get the idea

Not sure yet whether we should do a cement/foundation job for the porch or just re-do the porch entirely.Our adventure here is going to allow us to go through the entire process of flipping/rehabbing our house, but... without ANY of the thorough experience that some veterans may have here.
