Hello, I'm looking for someone who has experience with co-op multifamily units that have a retail or other commercial space on the first floor. How do you structure these contracts? Please connect with me if you have expertise in this area. Thank you!

Hi Azeez, I have a lot of questions but the first one is this: for MF, do you typically build to sell or hold? And, do you have experience with mixed-use properties (retail+residential or office+residential)? I'd like to learn more about the legal and zoning hurdles as they relate to mixed-use. Thank you.

Hello! Does anyone know of a good fence repair company that services Humble, TX? I'd like to get a quote for one of my rental properties where the fence was damaged in the hurricane.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a property management company for 2 single-family homes in Humble, TX. One has sat vacant since July and the other has a tenant. Owner is not pleased with the way the vacant house is being managed. Current management company is slow to reply, does not negotiate with contractors and most importantly has not worked to put a tenant back in the property.

Please send me a link to your favorite property manager's website. Thank you!

The following is a situation faced by a family friend and I was wondering what tips or advice we could get from the BP community. We'll call the home 111 Fox Rd.

Fox Rd is tenant-occupied and their contract will end next month; they don't plan to renew. The owner is taking this as an opportunity to do some updates and increase rent for the next tenant. Nearby comps can rent for $0.10/sq ft more than 111 Fox Rd.

The question is: what updates and upgrades (over and above maintenance) typically see a good return in a rental unit? Appliances? Kitchen and bathroom updates?

The property currently cash flows per the 50% rule and the owner plans to keep the home for at least 2 years, if not the next 5 or 10.

@Adam A. Yeah, same here in Dallas. Check out Rural Studio/Auburn University's 20k home, a couple of those were used in an Atlanta subdivision. It's not the size you want but maybe they'll know someone: http://www.ruralstudio.org/

@Account Closed Let me know what you find!

@Adam A. Did you find anyone? Please keep me posted!

@Matt McPheely I see that Kasita homes are $400/sq ft - do you know of any modular home builders for low-income residences? Thanks!

@Adrian Butler Did you find anyone? Thanks!
