The one existing house needs a cosmetic rehab as it currently has a late 70's decor, but I believe it is well-maintained.The estimated numbers look something like this:Property acquisition:  $700kConstruction cost:  $750k ($350k for each new house, plus $50k cosmetic rehab on the existing house)Sales price:  $1.8M ($600k per house)So the profit would be $350k.  

@Sam Shueh I drove to Jacksonville to Floor and Decor and it was worth it since Lowes and other stores in my area didn't have anything in the price point I wanted.

However, for what ever reason, the lower tenant (according to the upper tenant) has been mean, rude, saying things like the backyard is only for the lower unit, they had a door decorating "competition" for Halloween which turned into the lower tenant yelling at the upper tenant.  

Blue tub is okay but consider a surround if the decor is dark.

Landscape stones would work, if you were in my neck of the woods I might suggest a nice decorative barrel cactus, but I don't think that would work in WV, even a small tree may be a significant enough deterrent.

As for reviews:  if the place is spotless, well-decorated and -updated, the great reviews will follow. 

These are houses that have good bones, no major defects but need a cosmetic upgrade as they have the same decor as they did in the 60's when the little old lady who's selling it to you bought it.

It has 6 decorative fireplaces which I’m thinking of removing. 

Half way through viewing the house, he got excited talking about how he will organize and decorate the house ..., he walked around faster than I could walk  :D

I had a mobile home and we had to remove some decorations from the ceiling, not realizing that was what was holding the ceiling up, the whole living room ceiling collapsed.
