I have stuck with SF's because at my price point, multi-family purchases would be in undesirable areas.

I went through my material list (200+ line items) and here's just a taste for you:Paint, primer, windows, doors, dry wall, mud, tape, screws, corner bead, door knobs, door stops, closet shelves, closet hanger rods, baseboard, door casing, ceiling fans, ceiling lights, switches, outlets, cover plates, CO & smoke detectors, underlayment, underlayment screws, thin-set, grout, tile spacers, tile, grout sealer, sanded caulk, cabinets, vanities, faucets, sinks, toe kick, filler boards, counter tops, garbage disposal, water lines, plumbing lines, drain kits, valves, mirrors, towel rods, tp holders, bathtub, shower pan, tub/shower faucets/valves, toilets, wax rings for toilets, dryer vent, floor/ceiling vents, tack strips, carpet

It also means no utility/mud room downstairs.

As to showings, if you need to go through the red light district or have undesirables in an area, the time you show has an obvious bearing on when to show.

Are there any little mud tunnels from the ground into the house on the underpinning?

If you’re looking for a clear as mud answer you have come to the right place, that’s because the short answer is there is no answer.

So he demos, rough in and then mud in like two weeks. 

We have a lot of clay in the soil here which makes for poor moisture absorption and causes water to run and pool instead of caking up and creating 'mud.'

Here are my 2 cents, I'll let you determine whether some of them apply to Belgium:- Within the country, there are "appreciation" markets (large cities Paris...) and "cash flow" markets (typically undesirable suburbs with higher risks, smaller towns) and everything in between. 1% rule is easier to find in less desirable markets, in France just like the US.- Single family homes are not typically what people try to rent in France.

We were required to use fire rated sheetrock and mud.
