Lots of people are hesitant about that area, but the properties are still cheap, and there are LOTS of 2 and 3 unit buildings that just need lots of paint, flooring, and drywall.  

I'm in the process of setting up a flipping business.I have fifteen years of remodel experience but have been out of it sense the lead base paint issue went into affect.What kind of issues have you guys as flippers had to deal with dealing with lead based paint??

If you have made any effort to reasonable air seal the building envelope, then you need the range hood to extract stale air and humidity as a regular air exchanger will not typically be able to adapt to accommodate cooking.Even if your house is not tight, it is still appropriate to properly vent the cook top to prevent moisture damage and grease build-up on the ceiling above.

I had to find multifamily contractors (flooring, painting, maintenance) for my PM.  

The management company said they couldn't find a tenet to put in place, but doing a drive by today, we found a family living there, and a quick talk with that family led me to believe they  are probably squatting on my "supposedly" empty house.On top of that, we payed for full rehab, but by the looks of it, that house haven't seen a new layer of paint in more than a decade!

Also thinking of buying moisture meter to check reading.

This ALONE is about 50KYou have not even touched electrical, plumbing, painting, roof, hardware, furnace, water heater, landscaping, I seriously doubt the repairs will be 75K

So we are keeping the brick, and not bother doing framing, sheetrock mudding , taping, paint...Same with the ceiling.We are going for this look:No, there is nothing wrong 40K houses.

I went to look at the property, decided that all it needed was touch up paint and some mulch in order to sell quickly on the mls.

There is no “Repair Siding” or “Paint Exterior with this color”.
