(PA)From what ive read it is only required to have a permit when your changing a pre-exiting floor plan (ie: removing walls, floors and outdoor contruction) which i plan on doing, and you have to have a rought sketch of your new floor plan. who do i submit this sketch to?

Then on the left for rows you could have the different sections like flooring, countertops etc.

the basement is 300 sq ft.2) main level flooring is uneven and/or warped (dry rot issue perhaps?)

3rd Floor, :welcome: Good to have you here.Tell us a bit more about the past deals you have found for others or yourself.John Corey

Both "may" involve going to ceramic tile from the sheet vinyl you have now.IMO, that floor change is always good, painting or replacing the cabinets depends on how much you can jack your rents.

My house is a 3 bedroom, house with a large fenced in back yard, finished basement with workshop, 2 car garage, all hardwood floors.

Mine is a 1 1/2 story home which does not require stairs on the outside of the home leading up to the second floor, if this is what you mean.

You will have to repaint when they move and carpet won't last past 4 years.The $450/month guys pay in cash, they can't get a checking account, they may move in the middle of the night, they don't care that the dishwasher quit and you will have to fix sheetrock, floors and paint when they move.The biggest downside on the lower priced houses is that an electrician costs the same now matter if he's working on a $100K or $25K house, and appliances may cost less, they aren't free in that end of the market.So it's a trade-off of income versus expenses and hassles.Now let's look at selling those houses.

Now ALL CASH pointed out that new construction is not quite the same as rehab work, and I agree, but you will get the basics like how to frame a wall, how the utilities go in, how to hang and finish sheetrock, how to hang cabinets and how various types of flooring go down and so on.

I had to run a new ground from the circuit panel to the water meter and attach it to the copper supply coming up from the basement floor to the water meter.
