The liability is too many "sticks," all the balusters that create a very cluttered look, as well as obstructing half of the lower story windows.So first, let's replace all those sticks with a material that is less visually obtrusive, emulates the architecture, is far more updated and hip, and affordable.https://youtu.be/SPKgdEqnR3QYou could also do a slightly more designed baluster at the second-floor front-facing landings to celebrate those entries and add interest.Wrap approx. the bottom third (or 36" to the railing) of the second-floor posts with 1x to give them more visual weight, and create a very simple capital at the top.At the very base of the stairs (ground level), create two simple but very LARGE newel posts, and if at ALL possible, cap each with a very clean-lined light fixture.

So to curtail my last post and wanting to give back... is there anyone in the local Charlotte NC market that would like an opportunity to get together as part of a wholesaling workshop.

@Juan MontesinoWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

I think I kind of missed the whole point of what I was getting at in my original post.

@Ray Rhoads congrats on your first BP post.

This option has the advantage of all of the options that I have seen posted in that it actually addresses the problem (no income taxes paid).I have made a significant amount of money via RE and have legally paid very little taxes on that money.
