as a break between living spaces.I'm not a builder but I imagine builders enjoyed a little savings by not having to budget for all the additional interior walls, but maybe that money had to go into costs anyway.Open floor plans are nice, but a bit too open for me.

The new owner fixed the sagging porch and it seems some of the interior issues, but the back is still as terrible as it ever was and my plywood boarding up the front windows is still in place.

-interior floor plan not ideal for raising a family but looks ok for STR.

As for materials and the such, are you using an interior designer or using the interior of comps in the area?

Sometimes I'll paint the interior a different color as well.

The place looks like it needs the roof replaced, interior needs an update, outside would need to replace some wood planks to be replaced.

I fund a few investors in BALT row houses which there are thousands of them.. my clients rule number one is never buy a unit next to what they call a SHELL thats a house with 4 walls no roof and not much interior. the issues you describe are common for props with Shells next to them.

view=publicIt's a 3 bed 2 bath house, almost 100 years old, and the seller made a bunch of updates to the house (fixed roofing, foundation, re-ran electrical wiring, redid flooring, and interior paint) prior to me moving in.So far, I've added a dishwasher to the place, and here are my thoughts as far as other "value adds" go, but I don't want to invest the money if you guys and gals don't think there's much opportunity for a return on it...

Interior designer here.

While I am not a fan of log homes or all wood interiors, that style still plays well here in the rental market.
