We don't care about the brick siding or the beautiful intricate wood work, we care about the ability to capture X number of dollars in market rent.

Also, I always take the original baseboards and wood work ALL the way down, even if it means threw 20 layers and 100 years of paint. 2) There are a couple sites on fb to the names of "our old house" with hundreds of thousands of members who would all cringe at the idea of doing otherwise with the floors.

So, for me semigloss is on any painted woodwork and interior doors as well as walls and ceilings of bathrooms and kitchens.

If you have off market deals that have good margin in them than the buyers will start popping out of the woodwork.

I also have a side hustle of woodworking. 

Beautiful woodwork and hardwood floors throughout.

Usually when life insurance pops up in these forums, the life insurance trolls come out of the woodwork, as the previous posts suggest.

Newly finished original hard wood floors, beautiful cedar-epoxy countertops, veneer stone walls in the kitchen, a decent sized mud room with a concrete floor, 3 nicely remodeled bedrooms with beautiful wood work trim. 

Pet friendly setup: no carpeting - vinyl floating or glue-down everywhere; fenced-in back yards in most of the homes; no expensive woodwork or anything like that. 

This house is also on the historic registry so it is not newer, just has been beautifully maintained and updated.I personally have a 6 bedroom, 4 bath home in Akron, it has original woodwork throughout, bathrooms and kitchen have been updated to taste with the flow of the mid-century design when the home was built, and it is rented for $2,700 a month.
