I recently bought an old run down flat which required A LOT of work. To start off, the electrical wires were all stolen. All the doors(including the front door) were missing. It was full of rubbish.
My strategy was:
1. Buy it dirt cheap with all its flaws
2. Fix all that needed to be fixed
3. Touch up the unit to make it comfortable for tenants
4. Be kedekut gila in getting it done.
My aim was:
"To provide a quality residence at a fraction of a cost. Low cost living with style."
After getting all the doors replaced and the electricals in order (took a large chuck from the budget), I proceeded to the aesthetic part. This is the part that is worthy of sharing.
At the beginning of the touch up:
1. The walls were plain white with some smudge here and there due to wear and tear.
2. The floor was just plain cement.
3. Looked very dull and not so pleasant to stay in.
