If you are invested with the right sponsor, who implemented the right structure, you’ll stack the deck in your favor for a good outcome.

For the apartment space, there are currently no actual bedrooms so I didn't think about renting by the bedroom, it has 1 full bath and kitchen on 2nd floor and then a living room and deck on 3rd floor.

Repair existing rear deckwhich consist of replacing board on rails and decking and secure deck properly from moving.3.

I used Angies list and found a great guy to do a new deck for me and they own a construction company so I will use them for other things like windows, siding, roofing, etc.

Turns out another tenants teenage kid had a fire on an upstairs deck (against the rules) and didn't put it out.Yep, burned the house to the ground. 

I've helped numerous friends with their home renovation projects, from concrete to decks, to windows, siding, roofing; the list goes on.

All units have covered parking and a porch or deck overlooking the small lake the property sits on.

This usually doesn't happen here any more with banks since there is such competition here at this time (but we found extensive damage that was hidden such as the roof having three layers of roofing, the bottom which was cedar shake with ZERO sheeting at all).Pre-purchase: 2bed/1bath 800 sqft finished living space with an unfinished 720sqft basementAfter Rehab: 3bed/2bath 1520 sqft finished living spaceRehab consisted of: demo, re-wire entire house, move electrical panel and update, roof, siding, hardwoods installed, build new bath in basement, add master bedroom in basement, add washer dryer closet in basement, remove upstairs wall and add beams, remove addition in back and rebuild deck, fencing, landscaping, EVERYTHING, you get the idea.This house did take a full month longer for rehab then anticipated, but it all worked out in the end.The Bad: Budgeted 75k for rehab, ended up 88k, anticipated 60day rehab, took 90days, termites, no HVAC where we thought, Water heater was leased so it got removed after buying it (didn't know that), had to fire a contractor and have others fix his bad work, bath tubs were lain incorrectly and was not discovered until we were ready for tile...The Good: House turned out WAY better than thought, the additional time for rehab gave time for neighborhood market to increase as well, low inventory at time of listing, sold in 4 days.Numbers:  Purchase: $165k (CASH)Rehab: $88kHolding costs: roughly $2500All selling/closing/realtor/staging/misc: $35kSelling Price: $369,000 with no concessionsNet Profit roughly:  $82,556

I could use many more hands on deck!
