The house is modern or mid century style to pull off the planking.  

Seems so last century...I should add that I'm not looking to become a slumlord, and i'm sure there's a balance between being smart about costs vs. killing tenants with 1,000 papercuts. 

agreed, don't paint the brick. you can allow the new owners to make that decision, or maybe dye it to be a more modern color like a darker brown or darker gray (i'm not a fan of red brick inside). and paint the bright brass black. but i LOVE the mid century style, it's very cool!

I would think that would be a big negative for many.The only place I see big revisions like this is in more expensive houses...often the mid-century type in North Dallas where there was formal living that many won't use any more...so people knock down a wall and open up the kitchen.If this house is in the older part of Mckinney East of 75....what is your target market for end user? 

It was a mid century modern home in great condition, and really needed very little, that my Realtor knew was a street with a bunch of swanky custom homes way overbuilt back in the day..

I would rather buy a mid-century box than one that was built in an 80's subdivision.3.

The outcome was an 19th century, open-concept, beautifully updated home with original maple hardwood floors.

Everything is large people have been turning the 2 bedroom homes of the early 20th century into 3 and 4 bedroom family houses.
