Here is is from the outside. We god a good deal on it. We were able to put 25% down, and we are already seeing the hard work we did on the re-model paying off.
Okay, so here is what it looked like at first:
Nasty carpet and yucky paint.
Lots of mold etc. So we decided to demo and re-do!
Starting with getting new toilets!
We took out all the cupboards, counters and sinks.
Chip up the tile
Knocked down all base boards and door frames,
removed all light fixtures and plug covers/outlet fixtures.
Took out some walls to insulate and re sheet rock.
Under the old carpet, the linoleum was still in tact... double the work right there!
We re-mudded the ceiling to remove the nasty pop corn ceiling.
a HUGE difference!
Then we started painting and re tiling, and got new carpet for the bedrooms.
We re painted the closets too.
Got new kitchen cupboards, granite and back splash.
(units A and B have brown cabinets, C has white)
Here is unit C.
Before and afters below...
Unit C got better carpet as well. Super awesome too- our friends Wes and Lindsey had just bought a house and were getting new carpet and since their old one wasn't in terrible shape, we took their old carpet, cleaned it up and vwalla... super nice for an Oildale rental I think!
Finally seeing the efforts of our labors!
And then moving in!
We are so grateful for our friends who helped us with re re-model during the hot summer and for helping us move and for staying our friends even though we live further away now!
So, this is the place we have called home for the past couple of months.
We have unit A and B rented out and have a property manager. It has been great so far. I love how business savvy Jeremy is, because now with the Tri-plexs' income, it will pay for itself, and most of our house payment as well!
It's been alright, but I am SUUUUPER excited to move into our new house next month
:D
