Hey Guys,
Wasting no time after closing Flip#3 of the year, I just put 2 other properties under contract. Both have sheds on the property, which I understand from appraiser friends can supposedly add around $10-12k to the value of a property.
The problem I have with the sheds is that:
House #1: There are 2 sheds -- A metal cheapo looking one, and a wooden one that just doesn't look right where it is in the yard. It's also dingy, and the roof looks way old. I'm leaning towards tearing them both out.
House#2: There is 1 large shed (Like 15X20) in the back yard -- Looks like a "Tuff Shed" sitting on a cinderblock foundation, and the inside is set up like a workshop with workbenches, etc... It's a nice shed -- but it is in the back yard at an angle, and just doesn't look right to me. I'm leaning towards keeping it, and maybe moving it... Not sure how much work that would be though... If I'd need a crane to pick it up or something, and then if it would stay together, etc
Anybody have input on how you decide what to do with sheds? I personally favor having a larger backyard for the buyer to see, and I only like sheds if they are out-of-the-way, as an added bonus -- but nothing in my line of sight from the windows on the back of the house, etc.
Cheers,
