But I'm open to have my faith in humankind restored.  

Our family renovated a historic turn of the century house and I fell in love with restoring beauty to old houses!

The right step would be more fracking, and more drilling.Yessir - and reopen the pipelines, and restore the oil leases. 

Also the thing you will run into if you restore a property that has been deteriorating for a while is alot of the lead paint got into the dirt around the house and the trim on the window so that needs to be replaced too. 

Two of my biggest frustrations over the years has been finding and keeping good help, and following hacks around fixing their mistakes and having to work to restore homeowners faith in my profession..If Ive seen it once Ive seen it a hundred times...

I also restored a house that was built in 1920 - that was a big project!

I know this post is old, but DOM Roofing & Restoration replaced 4 roofs on my rentals in the last 3 years through insurance.

If the property isn't zoned 2-family and/or the conversion wasn't permitted, you're looking at costs to restore it to a one family or permit it after the fact.  

After a roof repair and flood restoration within two months of each other I ended up with nearly $8,000 out of pocket because the rents hadn't been enough to cover those huge incidences.

There is a severe lack of supply when it comes to affordable housing.It’s remarkable to see how it can transform someone who is homeless and being able to help restore their dignity has been a spiritual return that is “priceless”.I’d like to see the VA do more community outreach at local REI meet ups.
