I can understand Joe's point. You need to do your due diligence period & get a trusted contractor or 3 to give you a bid on what the cost would be to bring your resale value up. What are your expense numbers going to be? Do you have reserves so that when you're living there you can maintenance anything necessary? 

Wow great work here Scott! You've added tremendous value to this property & perhaps the neighborhood. Too bad the neighbors don't see it that way. Surely they'll come along soon. Cheers!

Lots of great answers here so just to add to it here goes. Had a rental where a similar issue was beginning to take place. Foul odor practically all the time. So using the KISS method I pulled the toilet out, set aside & noticed the wax ring was fouled.  The flange had some how over time moved or may have been installed incorrectly. Bc part of it was allowing a surface of it to catch excrement allowing it to stand. Thus the continuous foul odor. 

I changed out the ring for a newer one & made sure to set it correctly myself. Days & weeks later problem solved.

Great work 

@AJ Satcher I say good for you for taking action, congrats! 

Hey Jacob great job! How did you accomplish permitting for replanning here?

Congrats to you Felicia! 

 Same here moderator removed a comment of mine also for referencing the obvious w/covid related rental funds. Smh

Congrats Jorge on focusing your interests in REI. As FHA loans are plenty useful for those eligible & are a great tool to use in getting into a great asset but using one now may be difficult. In hot markets you can be easily be outbid for a property that you find is a great numbers fit. If considering using the FHA option don't overlook any For Sale By Owner deals. Perhaps you can use your FHA option w/a seller more interested in your criteria that way you'll have more of a competitive edge going in. Also find a great realtor on BP who can answer questions pertaining to FHA process & can guide you to possible investments that fit your criteria.
