Building interiors are in good shape, I'm keeping the existing PM company on and they seem very good.

@Brian EllisThe interior has not been touched cosmetically.

What I do not understand how the buyers find the interior condition of these 100+ year old mansions acceptable.

I’ve painted the entire interior and exterior of the house, tried to refinish the floors, just anything I could think of.

As a General Contractor, the interior finishing is very important to me so that was one of my major focus.

Lastly, when looking for Lots to do Build-and-Hold projects, you want to keep in mind the more units you build the cheaper the per unit cost becomes, additionally the neighborhood Class makes a difference as well since if you're building a Duplex in a Class A or B neighborhood, your interior finishes will be much more expensive that if you're duplex is in Class C neighborhood.

With little structural work needed, the $200,000 renovation budget will mostly be dedicated to completely updating the kitchens and bathrooms, refinishing the existing hardwood floors, removing wallpaper and interior painting, replacing windows and repairing the back decks.

Tenants that pay on time and take care of the interior of the unit are following their lease nothing more.

He’s also an interior decorator, and he was AMAZING.

Just because a property goes on the MLS doesn't mean its a "traditional sale" - I've sold multiple properties with NO interior inspections allowed, cash only, close in less than 2 weeks.
