Common fees will include a set-up fee, leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

I recently purchased my first property, a 3 bed/3 bath zero lot line (shares a wall with another house but no HOA) in Nashville.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

I bet if you ask the inspector if they guarantee there is a leak if you rip open the wall they won’t say yes.

No wall textures maybe.

I just read an article on the Wall Street Journal https://www.wsj.com/articles/i...   

I believe this to be an enclosure of an already existing covered patio in the backyard, where walls were added along with central air/heating to make it a part of the main home.After inquiry, the seller has noted that the extention was added in the late 80s and I do not see any permit on file for this work.

The way I learned is equity in your house is "money in your walls."

It's rented to top-notch tenants; an MD resident, a doctoral student, and a physician's assistant--all of whom are the best tenants imaginable.It all boils down to: take the house that nobody wants (but which is in the best neighborhood in town), and turn it into the house that everyone wants.Of course, the downside of this approach is that there's a lot that can go wrong when changing the floorplan/functionality of a property...tearing down walls often isn't as simple as HGTV would have us believe.
