I reside in Amarillo, Texas. This home is for sale, circa 1920s. The price seems right. If you could buy it, what would you do with it as an investment? STR? Event space? Wedding venue? Other? Thanks in advance for the ideas!

Quote from @Michael Baum:

Hey @Collin Hays so after a quick look I think I like the wedding venue thing. It is a pretty amazing place, plus the lot looks decently sized.

What I would do first is get with Amarillo College which is right there. There is a pretty decently sized parking lot literally less than 100 feet from that house.

I am assuming it is part of the college and it is pretty far from the buildings so maybe you could get them to allow you to use it for wedding parking. There is a TON of parking for the college all around so I would be you could work something out.


 Yes, Amarillo College parking is right there. This is on a brick street from the Depression era. There is also plenty of parking along Van Buren. I've got to see the guts of it to see if it's open enough for events inside.  Found it has an entire finished basement of 1900 feet that isn't counted in the square footage.
