Wow that place looks great no more plum wall color.

We removed the walls between the kitchen, dining room and living room and opened the whole space up into one large room. 

I will keep you posted regarding the progress of my project. yes my job will be a full rehab ..I can imagine knocking down some walls to open up space looking for a more modern layout ..moving electricity, refinishing/putting new flooring, gutting kitchen, new cabinets, counter tops, full paint outside/inside ..possible new deck, yard, possible cosmetics in the basement (new carpet, finish walls etc) ...properties selling for under 50K in my area are needing all that ..I hope I will not discover too much while opening walls. most of those houses are winterized with no utilities running ..so once I switch electricity/gas/water on ..lets see if the thing will not fall apart ;-)

Understand, I have no idea what I am talking about :).But since renters from outside your region were mentioned, I just thought I would put out there that in some areas (mine, for example) wall-to-wall is definately considered a lower end floor covering, and if we were moving to Charleston and renting at $2000 a month, my wife would definately insist on hardwood.

Since the condo complex is a loft layout, all of the other units have bedrooms without doors or a 4th wall.2) I am failing to understand why my property value is so low on zillow with a HUGE disconnect compared to the county's appraised value, and this question ties partly into the issue pointed out above in issue #1.

Our thoughts are to finish the full basement and add a bathroom there, knock out the wall leading to the kitchen to insert a breakfast bar, replace carpeting, repaint, and take off the siding and replace with brick or granite for an exquisite finish.

Anyways, there was coffee stains (and more) all over the walls and furniture.

A wall separated the bathroom from a 140 square foot laundry room.

vandals ripped the wires our of the walls and the panel box out of the basement.

2, Should I replace in wall AC unit with a newer model or just cover the area?
