FIND YOUR DREAM HOME OR APARTMENT
It would be nice to add more floor space to my hotel room by adding a wooden platform on which to place my bed. Quickly, without relocating to a larger apartment, I could spread out in quite a bit more standing room, which I could use, for instance, to improve my music videos by adding a wall-hung background and/or some floor-standing studio lighting effects. Unfortunately, the room's ceiling, however, based upon my arms-reach measurements, is too low for a platform. Watch this video to see how I estimated my room's available space using only my body and no measuring instruments, which could have gotten in the way towards my determining of the room's virtual available remodeling-space dimensions, before I might have ever ended up wasting any time and/or energy from constructing useless room dividers in an otherwise cozy, functional amount of space in this little hotel room. See it at my YouTube Channel or my Blogger blog, "Resume."
Be very careful of "flipped homes" most are just done to look pretty but once you move into them they become money pits, My Realtor who was a personal friend sold me a home from another Realtor who flipped it, yep it looked all nice and new paid for a professional inspection about 3 months into it, upon real close inspection by myself all the nice looking new windows were all factory seconds/blems,( minut chips in the edges) when i cleaned them after a week into the home some of them cracked, the Carpet looked new but was dyed to cover all the pet stains, i found that out after replacing all the carpet with hardwood flooring, they covered the wavy unlevel water damaged old hardwood floors with bits of cardboard to make it level, then heavy carpet padding then they used dyed Carpet. The "new heating system" worked about 2 months which i had to replace in the dead of winter, replaced the water heater also
The neighbors told me the home was flooded at its previous location and moved to this site and it was an old crack house, holes in all the walls and 4 pit bulls that urine all over the home ( which explained why i always had sinus problems) the realtor that sold it never mentioned any of the problems or its history to my agent who amazingly stopped talking to me after she made the sale, even though i had a professional inspection he sure missed a lot of things, it's amazing what a fresh coat of paint. Drywall and such will make a turd look great BUT its still a Turd. so lesson learned for me but never buy a flipped home most are just made to look pretty.

you clearly don't get it. The people that bought and restored the house in Mississippi didn't do it to 'rent or sell'. They made it their home. I restore old buildings. and I also buy 'wrecks' and redo them to rent or sell. But that is HUGELY different than what they did. They made a home.
your first mistake is thinking they did that for profit. Not sure exactly what your other mistake(s) is/are but It costs me far LESS to start with a shell and redo it than it costs to build new or buy almost ready to market. So you are clearly doing that wrong too.
