Can This Floor Plan be Saved? – Nashville – March 23rd
Sometimes your "great deal" comes with problems.
You might have an older home that was built with "pass through" bedrooms, or, there is no washer/dryer hookups inside the house.
Your kitchen may be very small, but if you could just take out that wall between the kitchen and dining area, you could have a great open area giving the illusion of more space. There are all kinds of obsolete floor plans, even in newer homes.
There are many ways to improve, or change them to make them more functional and up to date, and at the same time add thousands to your property value. Greg is a life member of REIN and an expert at this kind of construction.
Your "eyesore" can become a "desirable property" when you just make a few changes.
You will learn valuable information in this class. Do not miss it!
