It's not much of a hidden gem anymore and therefore a lot of people are moving into the area. 

So we will look to get creative and see what we can create with this gem...maybe experiment with a tiny home concept.We also placed a bid on another beautiful home built in the 30's, it is a 4/2 2,000 sqft and has all the qualities for a potential AirBnB. 

The most useful book for me in this has been a gem published in 1990: Profits in Buying and Renovating Homes by Lawrence Dworin, and there's still plenty of BS in it.

Fully remodeled it inside and out and turned it into a gem was hard to sell it and see it go.

Alternative rentals such as vintage campers like mine that provide more of an "experience" often fetch a much higher price per night.

So I am always looking for hidden gems due to the prices are a little high in this area and me being new and trying to build capital.

Completely re-did the yard with great landscaping and great grass, looks like an emerald gem compared to the properties around it, added shrubs to the front as well to give it more home feel.Will not do anything significant regarding value-add as I do not want to do the leg work for the rest of the neighborhood.

Happy to answer any questions you have on the area, I agree it's a somewhat hidden gem given proximity to the city and overall quality of life.

Modifications to the laundry area and some kitchen cabinets made the classic (read: old vintage!)
