I once bought a property from a wholesaler that had items from the the floor to the ceiling.

So i redone my living room, redone the floor and bath, the kitchen was fine, but I added new counter tops and a open box oven that cost 60% its retail price and after 1year later I got an appraisal of $87,500, and sold it for 86k and some change.During that time I was always scared to continue my venture in either quitting, and ponder why did I blow so much money on a crappy home?

One of the items was that the duct going to a vent in the living room was too close to a floor beam.

I'm closing on a single family investment property in a few weeks and have a bunch of people interested in renting it due to a Craigslist ad with no photos (we're replacing kitchen appliances and some flooring right away, so I want to use photos of the new stuff).

Jump up and down on the floors.  

For some, if they have to move out of a house with stairs they don’t want to buy again because they anticipate moving into assisted living in a few years or moving in with their children (my criteria will be house with 1st floor master or ranches) These are all simply my observations and I would value any critique or confirmation.Once I work out some other obligations and figure out where I’m going to land with private school tuition for my son I hope to buy my first project later this year.

No pets or smoking.He has a security of deposit of $500 that would transfer to me.Home was updated in 2012 with new floors including sub flooring. 

My cabinet and flooring guy at the same house was supposed to have most of the work done in December, but took off to Arizona for Christmas and didn't even get started until January!

Back porch floor and railings need to be pressure washed5.

Kitchen/baths needs gutted and replaced, maybe a wall or two knocked out/moved, flooring, paint.
