I know that I could create a great listing with excellent photos of the interior, but I'm afraid of a negative first impression on the guest when they pull up to the house and feel "less than impressed" or worried that the INside of the house might look like the OUTside.It's January, 2022 as I write this, and we've had snow on the ground in Michigan for a few months - so I can't do landscaping right now, but spring IS right around the corner. 

I feel blinded by dealing with family.The unit is four-plex apartment building that needs a lot of paint, all new flooring, bathroom vanities, interior doors, an exterior door, a large window replaced and probably an in wall A/C or 2.

We identified an open niche in the local market for a B class property and will took advantage of this property’s surprisingly good existing condition to add amenities, rehab interiors, to move this property to fulfill that void, thereby forcing appreciation and creating a strong return for investors.

We call it 'The Special' Interior alarm systems with motion detectors.We noticed that as areas improved the break-ins started.

Trash removal, new flooring, new toilet, painted interior and exterior, new appliances, new fixtures, fixed plumbing and electrical issues.

It needed quite a bit of work -we finished the basement and added a second full bath, all new flooring, interior paint, doors, appliances, painted cabinets, new butcher block counters.

However I also wanted interior pics.

We did have a unit turnover that we raised rent on the unit $900/month (tenants were below market and we did a fairly extensive tenant turnover including removing texture ceiling, new base boards, painting all interior, getting a new range, adding a programmable thermometer, and redoing the balcony railing (new powder coat)).  

I would think it would be a red flag unless the first permit you pulled was an easy permit and just for demo or some interior work.There may be a way to modify the existing permit but I am not 100% sure maybe @Samuel Pavlovcik or @Prashanth Mahakali have dealt with this before?

This family member is now going to retire and leave the country and offered to sell the condo to me.The house is in somewhat bad shape and will require a full interior refurbishment.
