Jerid Cook from 918 Home Team in Tulsa is a great person to work with as he is always willing to help.Also, Michelle Leach from Titan Title in Tulsa is as knowledgeable of a person as I know in working through title issues such as the one I experienced (property title in a trust of a deceased person that also had a lien against it from a company that no longer existed).Before Photos:                      After Photos:        There was beautiful wood floors discovered under most of the "nasty" carpet which I had refinished:          

In the hottest REI areas in Ohio though what you mainly see is pre-1930, wood frame,  wood / vinyl siding, sketchy wiring, and old plumbing and if there were updates completed they didn't pull permits or keep any paperwork that would allow us to credit for the updates.

I recently added wood paneling as a dislike to my list because the city I invest in has it in the older homes. 

Again im shooting in the dark here not knowing if this is 200 miles from civilization in the woods or the site of an old Sinclair gas station from the 1950's.

Recommend Vicki Roy from open door rental!

We worked side by side with our handyman on all of our first 5 buildings, and after being basically the same as you starting out, now I can put in sheetrock, electrical (inspected of course), sand wood floors, install Pergo flooring (used that skill to put pergo in our home hallway), and even install windows. 

Thank you again to @Andrew Gingerich, @Mike Roy, @Steve Vaughan.

@Mike Roy @John Kwon You do have to substantially improve the property.

In my neck of the woods 3% actually does keep up.
