During the renovation, I faced several challenges due to the home’s age and hidden damages, including ruptured plumbing, termite infestation, rotted wood, and lack of insulation.

@Lake Lutes is in your neck of the woods and can assist you with identifying rental properties.

We have not disabled ours or converted to gas, but Tenant must sign a Fireplace Addendum stating if they use it, we require a higher renter's liability policy with us as additional insured, rules on wood, storage, use, safety, they pay for yearly professional cleaning each year they are there, etc.  

All of the smell was in the wood floors, original from 1928.

Faux wood floors, new blinds.

I work a full time job at a wood shop building custom cabinetry.

Co-living is going to grow and grow as time goes on (but maybe less so in my neck of the woods, to be honest).

I've already renovated one of the bathrooms, and I’m planning to paint the interior, update the kitchen cabinets, possibly sand the wood floors, build a fence is a corner lot and increase the rent for the room since my tenant is currently renting the entire 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house for $800 a month.

This has been tied up in court and does not really have an end in sight at this time.5.
