Deal! 

@Alyssa Dyer yes I’m looking froward to the entire process. Kiera has been very helpful in filling me in on how it’s worked for her.

Planning a rehab for a 1930s 2-story 3 bedroom 1.5 bath house. Located in a Class B area with two surrounding elementary schools. Rehab is purely cosmetic and quoted around 5-7K to get it rent ready. Previously only had a ground floor furnace for heating and one window A/C unit for cooling. During inspection the furnace is found to be completely out of commission. I'm waiting for quotes from HVAC companies but I’d like to ask your opinion. Would you invest in a completely new HVAC system and duct installation where none exists? Or start out with fans, window units and heating units? I want to minimize the risk for fires since the bedrooms are carpeted. Goal is to get it rehabbed and rented ASAP. I welcome any advice!

Thanks for the feedback and comparison. The house is located in a Class B near a few schools within walking distance. Houses around there are about the same age. One street over, it becomes Class A. So I may bite the bullet and go for it. I’ll run the numbers and make sure it pays for itself. Thanks again!

Oh wow, yeah lots of untapped potential! I want to House hack my next purchase! Yes let’s talk some more! 

@Kiera Underwood nursing is a small world so your friend and I may know of each other or have mutual friends!

Yes there’s lots of unlocked potential with travelers specially in renting to them during their contracts. We should definitely keep in touch. I’ve spent almost 2yrs in OkC before starting a contract up in northern IN. Still have many great friends in the OkC area and am wanting to purchase a duplex or triple in OkC/Moore/Norman area. Always up to network and gain advice from advice!

@Charles A. I see, thanks for the feedback. I definitely want to make things simple for now.

@Stacy B. Powell thanks I’ve been told about stessa and wave on this thread. Appreciate the tips!

@Inderpal Chadha thank you, I will look into it!
