While that adds to the character of the home, it also creates a maintenance headache with peeling layers of paint with the potential of containing lead.Not sure if this answers your question, but it explains part of why I won't buy century old houses.

You certainly do not want quartz counter tops when all other comps are tile, etc, etc.Best bang for your value add buck is kitchens, master bed/bath, room additions, adding additional bedrooms/bathrooms to title (with PERMITS), and presentation - front and rear yards should contain wow factors as the front yard is the first thing potential buyers see.You also want to pay close attention to the homes on each side and across from you.

Looking to build container homes in AZ.

Think it's just me, but I'm fascinated by affordable tiny houses and shipping container homes.

A DST is in essence a very small % owner ship of a trust that owns investment real estate. 

That ship has definitely sailed. 

Do that for about two years and then jump ship and go to a 100% commission brokerage. 

LJS Signs is reputable in the DC metro area and will ship signs anywhere-  cost of sign riders is like $12 or something. 

Unless one of the offers was a no contingencies at all kind of deal and is still out there with a strong deposit, but I think that ship has sailed.
