Bought this duplex for $49k. Both sides are 1 bed 1 bath. We went ahead and rented out the decent side while I renovated the shitty side.
I still need to add up the receipts, but I figure I'm less than $1,500 in this renovation. Painted all the walls & the front door. Painted the kitchen cabinets. Put on new counter-tops. Bought stainless steel appliances off of Craigslist. And completely gutted and redid everything in the bathroom.
This was my first foray in laying tile, hanging drywall, installing bead-board, countertops, and plumbing but I'm very happy with how it turned out.
