They bought the house in 2012 and stood to make a huge profit with the offer they had. 

If the Sheetrock is fastened directly to the trusses, then you’re going to have to mess with the trusses in order to get a flat ceiling that is high enough, which to me says architect/building engineer and a lot of money.I suppose another option would be to put the ceiling on top of the trusses’ bottom chords so you end up with an exposed beam look, but I don’t know if this is allowed or practical.Is there some sort of crawl space above that can be viewed to get a better idea of the structure between the ceiling and the roof?

I feel very blessed to be in the Midwest during times like this although there are definitely socialistic trends in our area that will need to be stood up against to prevent similar outcomes. 

Was there anything that stood out? 

The house is a great rental due to recent renovations and location so it just stood out fantastically.

This is more of a commercial space comment, but what stood out to me is that overall, rated buildings demand more rent and are vacant far less often than unrated buildings.

Never paid attention to it because it never stood out (overgrown shrubs and trees blocked the entire house).One summer night after walking by the house we noticed that it had been for sale for months and so “for fun” I called the broker on the sign.

Only one neighborhood in Texas’ four major metro areas lays claim to an average apartment rent above $3,000, and it’s right here in Austin.Data from Apartments.com shows the average monthly rent for an apartment in the Northshore neighborhood, just east of the Seaholm District, stood at $3,156 as of May 14.

Yes, I felt so entitled as I stood in line at food shelf, I felt so entitled in ESL, I felt so entitled as I laid on the sidewalk with bullets flying over my head, so very entitled...... 

I invested in upgrades inside and out so that my unit stood out among the cookie cutters.
