Sensible Developments Real Estate Turnkey Case Study: 23xx N 30th, Philadelphia PA 19132

Another turnkey completed and rented. This project was a 4 bedroom house next door to an abandoned building. At the beginning of the project and older lady asked me to renovate not only our building, but the one next door also. I told her that I would love to, but can't because we don't own it. Essentially everyone wants to live on clean and safe blocks. Abandoned buildings bring the neighborhood down. North Philly is plagued with abandoned vacant shells. We have been doing our part to turn these buildings around and get them occupied with people that love their new home. The main ingredients of a Sensible Developments turnkey are hardwood flooring, stainless steel kitchens, tiled kitchens and bathrooms, and carpeted bedrooms. New sheetrock and paint throughout the house makes it look like a newly constructed townhome. Our tenants love the look. We have been consistently getting the "WOW" effect.

The work that was done at 23XX N 30th, Philadelphia PA 19132:

- Existing rubber on roof was removed and new application was put on the large roof above the second story and the smaller roof above the first story- New PVC plumbing pipes were installed throughout the house
- New floor coverings throughout the house have been installed including carpeting, laminate, and tiles
- New electrical service has been installed throughout the house including light fixtures, baseboard heating, and hot water heater
- Window capping and siding have been installed on the exterior of the house
- New exterior doors on all 3 egress/ingress have been installed
- New security doors and security bars on 6 windows have been installed- 2 New block glass basement windows have been installed- New paint applications have been applied throughout the house
- 110 sheets of drywall have installed throughout the house- New bathroom sink, toilet, bathtub, and accessories have been installed in bathroom
- New kitchen cabinets and sink have been installed - Kitchen appliances (oven and refrigerator) from a reputable used store have been installed.- New windows have been installed throughout the house
