Silverlake Renovation and Reimagining

Guys, 

I am currently rehabbing a property in Silverlake area of Los Angeles and another in Palm Springs. I bought them at a song and am currently going through the permit process of changing the property from a duplex to a single family residence in silverlake. From initial analysis it seems that the property worked better as a single family home than a small multifamily.

it is truly incredible the diversity that you see in silverlake these days, one morning I was checking on  progress and stopped at Starbucks... I saw one guy who was a cholo and another in a prius. 

Here are a few pictures of the property.

@Steve Richardson Congratulations! Silver Lake is certainly a popular area. Most of my co-workers live there and love it. And yes, it is extremely diverse. One of the reasons why it is so popular. Quick question... if you were to keep it as a duplex, what would the beds/baths be for each unit? Same question if you were to change it to SFH? Do you plan to live in it?
