They may be obsolete functionally and cosmetically due to all the innovations coming in the next 30 years.

It was necessary for us to risk labor and materials making some minor cosmetic improvements to the house in order for it to pass FHA inspection.

From my experience, much of the competition is dirty and not well kept, so make your units cosmetically attractive at a competitive price  and should lease in a reasonable time frame. 

This potential home could probably use some cosmetic updates, but should be ready to live in if needed.   

A refinance - You would definitely not want to do this prior to the exchange as that has routinely been interpreted as a taking of boot. 

.- House is about 100 years old and other then these problems require lots of cosmetics but in decent shape otherwise.- During the inspection I saw a disconnected downspout just above the area where the bulging is occurring.

If you are considering a property that is in need of extensive repairs, you will need more time to complete that work than if you are buying a house that only needs cosmetic updates.

@Billy Bell Minor cosmetic repair, got a quote for around 7k.

I just can't stop thinking about all the available doors for rent as I drive my daily routines.

Luckily we’ve only needed to do some cosmetic upgrades.
