Cracks in the foundation, dangling wires, three layers of roofing material on the roof, broken fixtures, off color carpet areas, spots on the ceilings, soft spots in the walls in the bathroom where water has penetrated, swampy areas in the lawn.

Apparently someone doesn't like color, because everything on the outside of this house is white!

Is it best to paint the bathroom and kitchen walls a different color from the other walls?

And I like painting the hollow core doors a contrasting color instead of matching the trim to add some interest.

The entire block has septic system.

Possibly a little foundation work (it’s on blocks)new water heaterneeds central ac/heat installednew roof (fascia and all components included) new flooring possibly some subfloor replacement exterior siding work(paint some, replace some)some drywall work where there are some small and large holes in the ceiling and walls in a couple of spots. couple windows replaced because of broken glassall new doors (2 exterior 3 interior) new cabinets and counters in kitchennew bathroom sink+vanityThis is in South Mississippi and would be using cheaper materials because it’s in a lower class neighborhood. 

I'll be deciding which optional things to do, and I'm having to make decisions about things like flooring & wall colors much earlier than I'd prepared to. 

They can block it by putting something in front of it or a piece of plywood held in place by a piece of furniture, but I wouldn't nail boards to the  fireplace.

@Ofir Rushinek It all depends, there are some GREAT pockets in Spring Park 32207, and some that are a DMZ, but if you can find a brick or block home in the neighborhood, lock it in!

One or two section 8 units in a block or neighborhood, you probably won't notice anything.
