Done With the Duplex

The duplex we bought in March in finally finished and under contract. It looks like it should close on Monday or Tuesday (10th or 11th). This is really good and we feel really blessed! The market here has been pretty slow, but we priced it low to move it fast. Here are a few pics of the finished product. The pics above are all of the upstairs apartment. We posted what it looked like a little after Todd got started. You can view those by clicking on this link http://toddandjennylei.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html. Make sure you scroll all the way down there are more pics of the roof and stuff. We are still trying to decide what to do over the next few months. Todd is doing a few projects around our current house like a front yard and stuff. It should be interesting! We are thinking about getting something to fix and rent, since the market isn't really conducive to flipping right now! We'll keep you posted.

This is the bsmt kitchen. It really turned out cute. It is already rented and it was surprisingly easy. The buyers did all the work to get it rented and everything. It was pretty nice.

This is the bsmt bathroom. It is pretty stinking cute compared to when we bought it! Totally usable and not so nasty with the beadboard and everything! You have to walk through the shower to get to the toilet, but nothing cheap rent can't fix!

This was by far the most interesting part of the house. An old coal furnace that everything is still ran through! It just don't see these everyday! The duplex has gas and is getting central air, but they just still use the old ducts, etc.
