Renovate/Remodel a buy & hold

[Ryan G.]

Hi all!

I purchased a brick home foreclosure and have just cleaned it out and gutted the inside of it (it needed it). I have a few questions on my next steps:

1. Is it worth it to frame the inside of the exterior walls to Insulate and put dry wall on easier? Or is it better to just use the exterior brick walls?

2. We are in a desert. Is it with the savings to install a multi zone mini split vs a traditional A/C unit?

3. Any suggestions to “over engineer” to prepare for a renter?

4. It has gas, is it worth it to keep the gas stove or just cap it and make it electric?

Thanks all for your help!
