I was able to view the unoccupied side and noted the following problems: massive cracks in the tub surround tile, uneven floors, walls, and ceilings throughout, an active small leak from the water heater in the kitchen closet, peeling vinyl tile over water damaged original hardwood floors in the kitchen in an area far from the water heater and all plumbing, and a piece of plywood below the stove and refrigerator that I assume is for strength.

The seller repainted the walls and replaced the flooring in the entire house with vinyl flooring.

I go with the popular white cabinets grey Walls and white trim

In this case it was just one wall so we just painted over it.

Here's an image from a Wall Street Journal article that show what the economists predicted for interest rates and what actually happened:This is where I got that chart from to give full credit and so you can read it from the source: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2015/07/...My belief is that if the smartest economists historically can't accurately predict interest rates, I suspect it will hard for them to predict crashes.

I estimated the repairs and some of the upgrades are going to be around $15K  maybe even a little more once I open up the problem wall. 

Several bidders using online mapping were feverously bidding on the property.At another sale a 3 story brick row house looked good from the front, but to see the back you had to go all the way roaund the block to access an alley to see that the entire rear wall had collapsed into the back yard and there was no rear wall to the house. 

A flat screen TV on the wall will cost you $500 but it will drastically increase rent ability.- Make your houses "female friendly" ya know what i mean.... ;) they are just less rough on stuff (other than drains)- SFH is a great way to start.

Sounds like they'd be happy with just a sketch in terms of new walls, toilet here, sink there, etc.

And the walls were in very bad shape – more than normal wear & tear.
