One thing that I liked was I looked at a group of homes in Hattisburg that were all section 8.. this guy built them with concrete floors.. stainless cabinets concrete counters and block walls.. with a drain in the middle of the living room and bathroom.. he did a turn over with a high pressure hose.. fairly indestructible..

My gut reaction is fix it, but get more labor bids and stain the concrete in that room instead of replacing the floor.. 

Maybe I'd be more on the lower end as it's just a single car garage and the concrete driveway looks bad.

The H and H carpet building at the red light is a much better spot.I like buying buildings like that and leveling to build new or re-adapt.There is a concrete median in the road.

I've just acquired a property that has some rusted out steel support beams in the ceiling of a concrete garage built into a hillside.

I mainly need someone who can inspect the outside structural integrity (walkways, elevated porches, concrete, etc.) and the common mechanicals (i.e. boilers).

Although the bones are in good condition, there is the potential of expensive cosmetic updates in the future, like concrete work, etc. not to mention more frequent minor repairs than newer homes require and potential of future major expenses like sewer lines, foundation, etc.

Constructed in mid 80s concrete/river rock pre-fab for the entire building. 3 phase 220 needs to be taken from 100 amps to 200 amps in one unit.

It tells me you know if a diamond field and folks need to roll up their sleeves, start turning over rocks to find those diamonds, polish them up, and then sell them or rent them.

Or should I only look for concrete homes?
