It wasn’t until 2016 when investors quietly bought property for $1.5 million and had it professionally restored and decorated.

Already checked Habitat for Humanity Restores and have been googling "scratch and dent" but don't know which brands to trust.

Good luck with the property and restoring order and democracy.

I'm a restoration contractor (and investor).

Fast forward to now , after the basement is flooded, i had to get a restoration service and plumber for several thousand dollars. 

This Section shall not preclude amending this Restated Declaration during the term of its existence.”Also, in the section 752b of california condominium bill, there is a clause that reads:“Where several persons own condominiums, as defined in section 783 of the Civil Code, in a condominium project, as defined in section 1350 of the Civil Code, an action may be brought by one or more of such persons for partition thereof by sale of the entire project, as if the owners of all of the condominiums in such project -were tenants-in-common in the entire project in the same proportion as their interests in the common areas, provided, however, that a partition shall be made only upon the showing that … the project has been in existence in excess of 50 years, that it is obsolete and uneconomic, and that condominium owners holding in aggregate more than a 50 per cent interest in the common areas are opposed to repair or restoration of the project”Thank you in advance!

@Ben Scott at that time it was sort of luck honestly... a GC connected us with an off-market deal to get work from us, while working on it an owner of two, neighboring duplexes (1 block from Paseo district.... so lucky), saw what we were doing and liked that we were restoring rather than erasing, and gave us a shot at buying his two vacant duplexes.

Then 4k to restore, and that may be conservative.

Then, you will have to sell the property to restore your entitlement.Many PMs are also investor-friendly agents so doing both could be a good way to start.

I hired a plumber to fix the drain and such so that was handled and they suggested that we get a restoration guy out there to look at it.
