This is great feed that shows amazing insight on both sides of the coin.

Our houses that we work on are not restoration projects, but more of a bringing the original flavor back to life with some updated points.For an example, last year we worked on an amazing home with a smaller footprint (720 sq ft) but had three stories.The Craftsmanship of the word work was outstanding; just a little rough at places and 90% of it was painted.If this was our own home, we might have stripped the paint, revealed the oak, and refinished all the woodwork, making it drop dead gorgeous (We love natural wood).

I am now at the stage of selecting all of the companies/individuals I want to work with in order to make an amazing and efficient team.For my Property Manager I very specifically want someone who is INCREDIBLY personable and friendly, someone available 24/7, experienced, and licensed.

I've literally been spending nearly every minute of my free time on this site for the past few weeks and am just amazed with the wealth of information here. 

The only good thing about this is that I have an amazing credit score.So does anyone have any ideas?

This site is amazing!

That way, they're outta my way and I don't have any reason to procrastinate or worry about them.Also, my husband has been amazing.

It is amazing how some people can live in all that filth and mold and the like, these folks they were probably late 70's that moved out of the house..

The amazing thing is that I have yet to lose any principal which I cannot say the same for my consumer lending experience.

If done correctly (with windows, nice stone finish material, etc), it could be an architectural asset as well.With some proper professional landscaping (maybe also cut out a planter along the side of house), and addressing the driveway issues, that should eliminate the aesthetic liabilities and give you an amazing amount of curb appeal.There are other possibilities for completely redesigning the approach to the entry (straight off the front with a right-angle landing and a gabled portico), but would involve a lot more demo-ing, building, and expense.Similar to this:http://www.houzz.com/photos/17493/Becker-Architect...
