I replaced the flooring, appliances, plumbing fixtures, lighting, re-textured the walls and ceilings and repainted.

Who else has attended this event and can directly link the information they received to a concrete action they took that at least tripled the fees they spent on it?

Fresh paint everywhere including ceilings, replace any bad flooring, ensure everything is clean and fresh looking.

However, after this lease is up we are deciding whether or not to put new floors in as the carpet is getting worn down.

Purchase price: $175,000 Cash invested: $10,000 Currently living in: 690 square feet, 2 Bed/1 Bath condo. 1st floor, pool, jacuzzi, dog park, laundry facility.

House was trashed but good location and decent floor plan.

My initial inclination is to calculate a price using the $220/sf for the top two floors, and a discounted price /sf for the unfinished basement.

Here's a link to the specific zoning information, but the bottom line is the property is not zoned for residential use except on the second floor and above.

Also found out that there were roof deterioration, brick damage on the outside of the home and tile floor damage in a bathroom.

So now here I am 3 contractors later and no tenant in this property and don't know when I'll be done because his floor job sucks and every estimate I get is more than i want to put into this place.
