If there's no lot line prohibition I'd consider decking the whole thing.

The building needed some work (new roof, complete remodel of two offices, new decking on the handicap ramps, etc.).

Is that price for the building from grading to finish with interior finish pricing, excluding garage/decking?

I know it needs a new roof, new appliances, possibly new carpet in at least 1 unit, Needs exterior paint and the deck needs work.

Will need some roof decking replaced, and new asphalt shingles. 

My skill level is limited to upgrading an existing space with new paint, fixtures, flooring, and lighting; this includes exterior painting, roof shingle upgrades, and deck building. 

New paint/carpet/HVAC, but needs a roof, kitchen counters, floor, a deck, and probably bathroom freshening.

I think it's hard to compete trying to sell a rehabbed 2 story 50- 100 year old property when someone next door is trying to sell a brand new 3 story with a roof deck for a relatively similar same price.

Then they acquire their first deal and list their tombstones in their deck but of course do not mention that they were involved strictly as a capital raiser.

We improved the amenities by extending the pool deck, adding a large pergola, bought new pool furniture, and added a grilling/seating area.
