Unfortunately, I'm not in your neck of the woods.

Agree with @Mike Sedlacek it may cost more than wood but you don't have to worry about staining or painting or anything.

I'm getting them on my own personal home that is located on a very wooded lot because I've seen how well they've worked for my neighbors.

Handrail installed for interior basement steps - wood is fine here

Repaint exteriorShould do's Complete rewire from 100 amp service with tube main breakers to modern 200 amp service.Replace old 1950's windows that are cheap aluminum balanced or wood channels that have been pained shut, but at the front of the lot near the road in the front corner of the property.

discounted tile all the way, you'll attract better tenants, charge higher rent, have much greater durability, will more than cover the cost premium

Depends on how big a spot relative to the size of the wood, whether it's decorative or structural, the amount of access you have to remove the rotted wood, and how well you will be able to keep it dry in the future.

We tiled the bathrooms and kitchens, replaced two missing compressors, repainted and repaired various drywall and carpentry issues and refinished the hard wood floors that were under carpet when we bought the place and we fenced in the back yard.

The option money may or may not go towards the price of the house.If it doesn't, the rent premium might reduce the price based on the language you presented, but you still need the 3.5% down payment when applying for a FHA mortgage

First, the details on our 'flip':The house is a 4 bed/2.5 bath 1968 split-level home on 0.5 acres, at the end of a cul de sac, with a privacy-fenced wooded lot, in-ground pool, spa, hardwoods throughout much of the house, and some updates including stainless appliances, in an A neighborhood in South Charlotte.
