This does not mean you will be awesome right out of the gate, though - there may (will) be some structural issues with your interactions that need polishing (interaction ebb and flow, timing, eye contact, phrasing, intonation, color and more).

You are responsible for your inside walls (usually from the drywall in).  

I think if given a Vanilla Box with paint ready walls, electrical panels and outlets, sealed concrete floors, finished ceiling with lighting, HVAC, sprinklers (may not be needed), and bathroom, I could do everything else myself with quite a bit of reserve capital.

We passed the Section 8 inspection with flying colors. 

I want to remove wall to wall carpeting and finish hardwood.

I need recommendations on what color to paint the kitchen cabinets!

I also see that a majority of these houses fit in two categories:  a)the stairs to the second floor are against one of the long walls near the front dooror b) the stairs stick out from the wall perpendicular separating the living room space from the rest of the house (kitchen, dining room).

Exterior slab is clean but there is minor wall cracks inside and tile floor cracks.

I would guess, and it is JUST a guess, that the 14' wall is load bearing and the 11' one is not. 

multiply sq ft times 3.81 with 8ft sheets gives you total rough sq ft for walls and ceilinglabor will be between $1-$2.25 Depending on area
