Pittsburgh PA Flip..The Before/Afters and struggles

This was definitely a fun project although it had it's challenges. Knob and tube wiring, load bearing walls, and the fact it is a 118 year old meant nothing was square. This was a personal project where I did majority of the work myself (hung all drywall...140 sheets, gutted it, painted it, you name it) I brought my crew in to put on the finishing touches. I'm usually asked why, well I was in the proccess of growing my two construction companies at the time and didn't want to take man power away from that. Fortunately those days are behind me and the project is complete. Purchase price was $78k cash, no hard money, $75k on rehab, and sale is $245k. Please share your thoughts and feedback. I'm off to my next project.........
