October 2007 found our little charlotte house empty and it was time for some major overhauls. The house had been rented b the same family for three years and had fallen into disarray. The surrounding area has improved dramatically since I had purchased the property ten years ago. Homes in the neighborhood where being remodeled and kept up nicely. We also felt that if we could update the home, we could demand more rent and find renters that would take pride in the home. This is where our journey begins.

I found the exterior in desperate need of a new paint job. I also found the landscaping overgrown and in some areas out of control. The backyard had two large circular crevices where the renters had kept two pit bulls chained. The interior was dirty and roach infested. The laundry room had leaked, causing the plywood and insulation to rot. The house was in need of new wiring and an updated kitchen. The cheep carpet that we had put down seven years ago needed to be ripped out and the hardwood floors refinished and protected.
