This was a bank repo that had good bones but needed deep cosmetic and layout changes.

I know this sounds a little counter intuitive but if they have high standards for what a property should be to be rentable it will save me a lot of money and headache on the back end with getting quality tenants and management.

We want to hire more people to work for us but the layout is odd and someone would have to walk through another person's lesson to get to their room. 

Personally, I've invested in single families that have unique layouts with separate entrances, basement apartment apartments, etc.

The location and layout of the property was incredible - right in wine country, flooded with thousands of tourists each year for apple season, an hour from Lake Tahoe and Sacramento, close to the highway, right down the street from the grocery store, and so many outdoorsy things to do around the area.

One of the least expensive routes (assuming the layout is good).

This helps make sure they have a remote interest in the layout of the unit before spending time at the property.

Draft proposal going to the board in the 2022-2023 FY. 2) Preserving and creating affordable housing- Focusing on supporting affordable housing initiatives in East Sanford and 1st Street Initiative to push for more amenities and parks, pushing for more access to affordable housing by partnering with Brick Capitals CDC to educate homebuyers, continuing to fund urgently needed rehab and repair projects and partner with nonprofits, continuing to support the S3 Housing Connect Initiative. 3) Vibrant downtown- Focusing on connecting Sanford to Jonesboro through a municipal service district and how to market and road their way to connecting them, continue improving mobility via sidewalks/bike paths, recruit and retain small businesses in Sanford and Jonesboro, continuing to develop local infrastructure.4) Planning & Infrastructure for growth- Making more efficient use of water and sewer systems- specifically long range future capabilities and collection/distribution, Improving Streetscapes (streets to improve determined by council), continuing to update land ordinances to promote the desire growth layout, updating local parks and other amenities, enhancing of street lights is on the book for 2022-2023 FY, development and enforcement of highway corridors passing through Sanford. 5) Engagement- Focusing on pooling community leaders together, partnering with local and non-local groups/leaders to strengthen Sanford's population engagement, developing diverse community building programs, and enhancing information dissemination for tourists.It's quite clear that Sanford is setting it's self up for future development in a big way, and it sounds like they are approaching it using the right methods as well.

Same layout, so prospects know what they will look like.

I've rebuilt the foundation and I'm thinking if I should keep the original layout or make it more functional.
