Installing exterior dusk-to-dawn motion detector lighting is always a good idea to keep all kinds of vermin off of the premises after hours.

It has been a functioning ADU for 6 years and there were no modifications to the exterior and only a gas line added for a stove and dry walling up and doorway in the interior.

Having roof and exterior taken care of are also a plus side to me.

Roof will need replacement in the near future.2) EXTERIOR: - (including siding, drive/walk): No problems found.

One example is with my first property manager I had a window inspection 2019 I believe, no report was given to me so I assumed everything was fine (my fault), this year on exterior inspection with my current PM there is a broken window that the tenants claim has been broken since the first owner....

Work Needed...Pulling up old carpet and refinishing hardwood floors - Roughly 500 square feetReplacing exterior door to side of houseSome remodeling of downstairs bathroom - corner shower install, putting up drywall, etc.TBH a whole lot more work is needed.

Fortunately it was only 5 units in the condo complex and the President was pretty relaxed during the whole process even though we did want to change exterior appearance.

New exterior and interior What was the outcome?
