Hello all,For peeps who house-hacked using your basement, did you bolt your basement door coming up the stairs?

Its 900 sqft down stairs too so around 10k on flooring?

We replaced the top floor full bath for $3,500 and got a renter in after 3 months of rehab to upstairs and substantial demolition to the down stairs unit (didn't want to subject a tenant to the noise and dust etc.).

developer built a community of 50 unit all section 8.block construction  Cement floors  concrete counters and stainless counter tops.. 

I use the drop box in front of the managers house.Then the manager deposits the rent on the bank and faxes a copy of deposit slip and list of who paid, lot #, check/ mo # etc.The rent box is cemented into the ground and locked.

New roof $12,000+ New kitchen, bathrooms, ceilings, flooring, windows, doors, resurface the back yard cement & pool surround, interior & exterior paint, etc.  

Walking up a flight of stairs or driving around to the back or parking in front and walking to the back most see it as more work and a deterrent.I look and watch to see what other developers do and see what happens from it.

You just need to make sure that there are no cracked shingles and if there are you should be replacing them ASAP with cement siding to match

I am about ready to put in an offer on my first fix and flip and have a question regarding steep stairs. 

$/SF in that area.I talked with my agent and she said its not possible to see the house yet because there isn't a key yet, so i decided to put down an offer for 85K which was the listing price as well.The owner accepted the house and now we are waiting for the bank's response. but. 2 days ago i was able finally to go see the house, and for my disappointment the house needs way more work then what i hoped for... it needs new kitchen cabinets plus appliances, new flooring all over the house, new toilets baths and sinks, and some major work at the back yard including replacing a broken spa (or filling the hole in cement).So, my question is, from your experience: Would i be able to lower the price if and after the bank accepts my offer and how do i do it?
