First Rehab under contract!
We just got our first rehab property under contract (!!!) $119k, needs $20k in repair, ARV $160K or $1600 rent. Our strategy is to refinance it and rent it.
3/2 1450sqft in Pearland.
Question: It has a weird non-bedroom in the front with doors on the kitchen side and the entry hall side. Would you:
- tear down the walls and make it a dining room, making the whole house look a lot bigger, (aesthetically pleasing option)
- close one of the doors and make it a study/flexroom, (cheap option) or
- add a small closet and make the house a 4/2 (Max ARV option?)
The Pros and Cons of each scenario would be really helpful!
