Laying the Foundation at an Ugly House on Everett Place

]]> Here we are finishing up the foundation for the addition on the house on Everett. 

First you dig a hole to pour the concrete in, here in North Carolina for a one story we need to have at least 16" of concrete deep.  Every locality will be different and it will depend on your average soil conditions and frost line. 

The inspector must inspect the footing for the foundation to make sure the soil is stable enough, once that passes inspection we can pour the concrete and then lay the block to make the foundation.

But really all you need to concentrate on as the investor is hiring the right people to navigate the inspections and code requirements.

Do not pay until you have passed inspection!!  It may look done, but it's not done until the inspector says it's done.

Starting a Rehab on Everett Street

]]> Here is a house on Everett street that we are just starting to rehab. I will show you this house from start to finish. In this video I talk about what we are going to do to improve the house.  Also I  point out that in these neighborhoods that are close to downtown, your buyer will be looking for certain characteristics of the renovated houses.  The buyer is generally more concerned with quality and the use of "natural" materials in the renovation.

Materials we will use:

Wood and Cement Fiber Siding for the exterior- not vinyl

Tile for the bathrooms- not vinyl

I also point out that not every house is equal,  even if it is identical, you also have to factor in the lot and the quality of the trees.  Our buyers are giving up the new big house in the suburbs in order to get proximity to downtown, mature trees, and character/quality of construction and materials.
