HI @Mehdi Mir

Welcome to BP! Happy to have you here in Texas soon.

Might I suggest this resource as you decide what place to invest in

https://www.areavibes.com/

This is a really cool website that give you like a 30,000 foot overview of a city and can tell you the crime rate and other things. In my opinion anything with a livability score over 75+ is fantastic

Best of luck!

Hi @James Landsford

My brother that is quite a list. 

#1 alone would typically cost you $4000-$4500

Ask for a itemized list of what things would cost + his labor

This would help see where your $$ is going 


 $4,000 just in labor for the fence??

 No labor + materials.  That’s how much my guy charged my in 2023 for about the same thing. 6 foot fence 110 feet @James Landsford


 From what I listed above, does that number sound reasonable to you? I have had a hard time Finding other quotes thus far.

In my opinion yes

HI @Heath D Wallace

This is still your property so you need to have them still fill out a application. DO NOT just let them "add" someone to the lease agreement without screening them. 

Yes to the cats - just charge a nonrefundable pet deposit and $10/cat monthly fee
