They weren't able to make it before rehab started, but saw a crew working there on one drive by, and saw the work completed (or what looked like fresh paint and railing where there was supposed to be). 

Always better to start fresh.

I want to repurpose cool large buildings like white elephants into shared workspaces or loft spaces, tiny apts or something cool.Steve i was a guest at a self storage event in NOV in Vegas.  

4500 sq ft warehouse with offices and 1/2 acre outside storage in Jacksonville FL.

This would for my peace of mind purposes mean we'd be moving back to the States so I could oversee something like a self-storage or mobile home property. 

The next buyers get a fresh, never lived in home. 

If the family is renting the townhome and using the basement for storage/laundry, then it shouldn’t effect the price.

I was up against a hard date to relocate, dwindling time in corporate housing and warehouse storage, and not many options in the housing market at the time to choose from.

question.. in a contract for deed.. when you buy it.. are you just taking title to the asset at that point.. who has title.. in those deals.. is title in the old sellers name.. its not in the new buyer since its a contract FOR deed.always wondered about that.Me personally I don't do anything without fresh title insurance.

the reality is when you go look at a house that needs a full rehab.. that is a home that has been lived in by a tenant most of the time.. so when you buy that fresh rehabbed house and want to know what its going to look like in 5 to 7 years just look at your pictures of the house pre rehab..
