It was a worn out bugalow in need of some TLC, and I had watched many TV shows on how to repair homes, and I bought this house.One of my good friends who happens to be a land developer/realtor helped me purchase the home, and 2 years later, I completely redid the house inside and out.

They have stuff that they care about.In one market I know the typical 1 or 2 bed condo comes completely furnished down to the towels, plates, TV, etc.
