Im looking to buy a California bungalow craftsman built in 1912 in south central LA.

He was a terrific craftsman but a lousy business man, we seriously doubt he will be of any help to us.Your point about the inspections is exactly what I thought, how did they sign off on the work if it was unpermitted?

And @Michaela Graham I think you're probably closer to where I'm at in my appreciation of this place...this is a grand old Seattle craftsman (actually we think it may be a Sears home, but can't find any identifiers other than the looks/floor plan, since everything has been painted over at some point).

There was already pockets of very nice homes that contributed to the areas home values (think Dilworth's craftsman homes vs. our areas mill houses).  

He is a true craftsman and his pieces are works of art... but that comes at a steep price!  

Thanks.What do you think is the ARV (for rent grade) for Solid Brick Craftsman on 1.4153 acres. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths approximately 1350 sqft. plus a full unfinished basement at this Area?

Been helping my 20 year old son fix up his little craftsman bungalow.

Seventy-eight(ish) straight podcasts later—just after crown molding, but before paint overspray on new truck—I had learned quite a bit about real estate, had developed a deep, if awkwardly anonymous friendship with Brandon and Josh (and Josh’s cats), and had been spared the long slow death of trying to make it as a hack craftsman in a skilled craftsman’s world.Thanks to BP I’m still alive and kickin’, and the game plan going forward is to flip for the purpose of generating capital to invest in longer term projects.

Its a 10 by 20 craftsman style .

I restored a 1921 craftsman house almost back to original condition after it had been a rental for 20 years.
