. -14 Units (13 1 BDR/1 2BDR), Desirable Location-Avg 1 BDR Rent: $700/ 2 BDR: $100 (right around the median for the area)-Built 1951-Interior gutted last year: new kitchens, carpets, toilets, paint etc.

The project scope included: Upstairs, a gut remodel of the kitchen, including adding a dishwasher, and opening up a wall to make an open living room/kitchen, updating the bathroom, adding a washer/dryer hook-up, and new paint/carpet.

I thought we would remove it all and paint the plaster that was under it.
