I think the absolute necessary things are new flooring and paint inside and out, new light fixtures, some new interior doors (or just paint the old ones), new interior baseboard trim, 3 new exterior doors (change 2 sliders to French doors), siding installed on side of the house at least and maybe the back too, change out main front entrance door, new oven, rebuild the deck off master bedroom, and minor landscaping.

My first card was through Navy Federal who offered 50,000 points if you spent $2,500 in 90 days (2015).

Myself I am prior Navy, served with Special Boat Units....now referred to as SWCC.I'd be curious to know what the answers are to your questions as well.

I retired from the Navy in Sigonella, Sicily.

You also have a French name.

Russell mentioned Areas in SE DC where I know that businesses (and a big government facility) are moving into and had a gut feeling that this could be the next popular area in the city (the next Navy yard).

Good afternoon,I was just notified by my tenant that he was weedeating around the foundation of the house, and ended up catching a rock and flinging it through a pair of french doors. 

Tomorrow morning since the cc is used with Navy Federal I'm going to see if they can offer me a HELOC since the rental property is purchased in my name and it has no mortgage,100% equity.

@Jerniel DiazI have experience with this, being a Navy Veteran.   

Installing a French Drain around the affected perimeter has worked wonders in my experience especially where run off from a hill is involved.
