The subject house is 1,842 and no formal dining, while the two comps are 2,235 & 2,249 have formal dinings and the rooms are a little bigger.

Initially, I planned to get involved with a property and handle operations as I have significant hospitality experience both in fine dining and breakfast/lunch.

It's basically cosmeticstuff...carpet, paint, siding, roof, doors, new bathroom or kitchen, etc.Basically if I wanted to take down a portion of a wall between a kitchen and dining area I can't???

I'm seeing homes $1500-$1600 month for a 4BR 2BA 1yr lease, one bathroom in horrible shape, never is painted, AC units broken and not fixed, and one of the bedrooms is actually a former dining room connected to a living room, just enclosed with a big piece of drywall, no priming/sanding necessary.

Large 4 bedroom home with 2 dining areas, plus office space.

The unit is certainly livable now, though she has not been able to set up her furniture in the living room/dining area.

Beyond that, it's incredibly dated and has a tile stage where the dining room should be, so not real appealing to much of the market.We had to revise our estimate because the city won't allow us to build an accessory dwelling unit.  

I wasn't going to give up.One night at my "day job", I'm in the employee dining room talking to one of my associates about a house I was going to look at the next day.

I have a few questions here:1) The dining room isn't completely level, would I be better off using tile or carpet?
